I'm very honoured that the article received the award. This is a meaningful step towards the recognition of the value of children's views (pun intended).
I urge everyone to please read the article and hear what children say about their lives.

"Academic freedom provides us with a space to stand in the wings of discrimination in a way that’s not available to other people.” ✊🏽 Academia and activism should co-exist. Great article with the incredible @cblackst universityaffairs.ca/feature…
