#ICYMI the Acknowledge Place and More-than-Human: Conceptualisation of Children & Youth’s Living Spaces in the Anthropocene online symposium brought together ECRs from across the world to explore how #place, #care, & #more-than-human relations shape #everyday lives of #children and #youngPeople.

Together, the event participants reflected on how children’s encounters with animals, materials, and environments invite us to think about care and responsibility beyond the human.
