Скачать или смотреть AMA Part 1: Childhood Studies, Youth Rights, Disability Studies, and More!

Thank you for all the thoughtful questions on my last video! They were so in-depth that I had to break this AMA into two. Part one covers my path to Childhood Studies (and Monster Studies), the project of youth liberation, my interest in disability studies, and a couple of book recs -- although the bulk of the recommendations are going to be in part 2. Keep an eye out for the next one coming soon!
