Description of activity
Kirsi Yliniva explores the conseptualization of the ideal 21st century political agency of children, examining how it is discursively shaped within contemporary future-oriented and anthropogenic (human-induced) crises-focused global discourses of education and childhood. Her approach to these problems is informed by Foucauldian accounts of power, governance and biopolitics. In her PhD Kirsi scrutinises possibilities and problems for political agency of children in the Anthropocene.
