The Landon Pearson Centre for the Study of Childhood and Children's Rights Invites You to Celebrate Landon Pearson's 90th Birthday! This event will also celebrate the launch of Virginia Caputo's new edited collection, The Children's Senator: Landon Pearson and a Lifetime of Advocacy.
In The Children's Senator contributors detail Pearson's influence on children's rights scholarship, research, and advocacy in a variety of areas including Indigenous children's rights, youth justice, commercial sexual exploitation of children, children's mental health, and corporal punishment. Following Pearson's lifelong commitment to highlighting young people's participation, the volume also includes testimonials from former students regarding her invaluable mentorship. Pearson's professional career and aspects of her personal life, including her experience as a parent of five children, merge in a fascinating account of Canada's premier children's rights advocate.
Virginia Caputo is associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University and director of the Landon Pearson Centre for the Study of Childhood and Children's Rights.
