Philosophy Lecture

### Beth Williams is a former advocate for children in child welfare proceedings. In this presentation, she asks the question “when is a child mistreated” as she explores the historical context of a child’s role in society in America. A child’s role in the world determines what constitutes maltreatment. Beth will explore the transition from “seen and not heard” to having quasi-adult agency before the age of legal adulthood and the paradoxical view that persons between the ages of 18 and 25 are legal adults who need special treatment, as we learn more about brain development.
