Knowing the Past, Shaping the Future: History and the Making of Public Policy - This event brings together historians, politicians, psychotherapists, teachers and students to talk about British childhood, past and present.
What is wrong with kids today? Gang culture, knife crime, alcohol, drugs – press and television are full of these issues. Modern childhood, it seems, is a bad business. But are the lives of children today so very different from in the past? This event brings together historians of childhood with politicians, educational and legal experts, psychotherapists, teachers and school students to talk about British childhood, past and present.
This event is organised by the Raphael Samuel History Centre (University of East London, Birkbeck College, Bishopsgate Institute), in partnership with ‘History & Policy’ (Cambridge, Institute of Historical Research, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine).
