You are invited to the To Look and to Play/Regards et jeux online roundtable event, organized by Professors Jean Frédéric Ménard (Sherbrooke) and Shauna Van Praagh (McGill).

The roundtable is a space at which eleven law student authors – selected over the past academic year to research and draft a supervised paper with a meaningful connection to children, youth and law – present and share their work with each other, and with members of the VOICE (Views on Interdisciplinary Childhood Ethics) community and beyond.

The event showcases and encourages transdisciplinary, youth-focused research, writing and discussion, as it enriches the knowledge and research expertise of both students and scholars. We look forward to welcoming you to the first To Look and to Play/Regards et jeux Roundtable! To confirm your presence and obtain the Zoom link, email 2look-2play.law [at] mcgill.ca.
