Unslaved welcomes author and activist Adam Fletcher to speak about his book “Facing Adultism.” Adam helps us revision the parent-child relationship, and dissects the way in which culture frames childhood and child-rearing. How can we deconstruct the present status quo to give young people more say and influence? What positive change are being made, and what benefits come from a holistic attitude toward the role of children and adolescents?
