Ep. 37 Growing Up in History: Understanding the history of children and childhood in the Global South
Episode 37
Monday, 6 January, 2025
In this episode Dr. Soni, Gitam University, interacts with Dr. Catriona Ellis, Strathclyde University about her recent book, "Imagining Childhood, Improving Children: The Emergence of an ‘Avuncular' State in Late Colonial South India" published by Cambridge University Press, 2023. Her research explores how colonial authorities, through education policies, child welfare programs, and juvenile reform initiatives, sought to position themselves as "avuncular" figures—benevolent yet authoritative guardians of children’s well-being in colonial south India.
