SUMMARY:RDV: Child welfare predictive risk models and legal decision making
DESCRIPTION:Child welfare agencies around the world have experimented with algorithmic predictive modeling as a method to assist in decision-making regarding foster child risk\, removal\, and placement. These models have attracted a great deal of controversy about the methods used to create them and the biases inherent in the data they have drawn from\, however\, proponents see them as a tool for improving decision-making and ultimately the safety of children at risk. Thus far\, all of the predictive models have been confined to the employees of the various child welfare agencies at the early removal stages and none have been used by attorneys in legal arguments or by judges in approving or denying removal decisions. Predictive models are regularly used in other courtroom settings and have been studied for how they affect decision-making in general. This is the first study to examine the effects of a child welfare predictive risk model on child welfare attorney and judge legal decision-making. Using vignettes based on actual disputed removal cases with the inclusion of a low\, medium\, or high child welfare predictive risk score\, attorney and judge legal decision-making can be changed by the inclusion of a predictive model risk score in ways that are important for the legal community to understand prior to the widespread use of any of these models in the courtroom.  \nAbout the speaker \nMatthew Trail\, JD worked for fifteen years as an attorney ad litem representing children in foster care\, with a focus on representing children with disabilities and mental health issues from trauma. He began his career at a legal aid office in Florida and then moved to Houston where he eventually became managing attorney for Disability Rights Texas’ foster team. In 2020\, Matthew joined the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods Behavioral Law section as a research fellow where he researches decision-making in foster care.  \nHow to participate: This will be a fully digital webinar\, so please join us on Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/64627342832?pwd=j6ilRvHfnDIHE7whkYpRxnXmM8pJxa.1 \nMeeting ID: 646 2734 2832  Password: P59BHsL2  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Navigating institutional borders: young refugees’ access to post-15 education in Greece
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Dr. Lucy Hunt addresses the social consequences of the refugee crisis in Greece\, and particularly how state responses to increased migration flows have shaped young refugees’ (aged 15–25) (re-)engagement with post-15 learning opportunities upon arrival in the country. It argues that three key ‘institutional bordering’ practices – namely\, the bordering of space (via encampment)\, time (via enforced waiting)\, and public services (via administrative barriers) – have played central roles in young refugees’ (re-)engagement with post-15 education; often causing their dreams to be diverted or downgraded. However\, with determination and the support of willing gatekeepers\, refugee youth found ways to (re)construct adapted learning trajectories despite\, and in response to\, these arrival challenges.  \nAbout the speakers \nDr. Lucy Hunt is a qualitative researcher at the University of Nottingham who holds degrees from the University of Oxford and KU Leuven. Her research specializes in the intersection of education\, migration\, and childhood/youth studies. Currently\, Dr. Hunt is developing the Hub for Education for Refugees in Europe at the University of Nottingham\, a platform aimed at fostering a network of researchers and practitioners committed to refugee education across Europe. \nHow to participate: This will be a fully digital webinar\, so please join us on Zoom: https://uib.zoom.us/j/63708238787?pwd=oIvBh7pI23PjyhbYxi9KaJdLJ7zxdL.1 \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Regulating Judges in a Modern Democracy: Insights from Canada
DESCRIPTION:In this RDV-seminar\, professor Richard Devlin and professor Sheila Wildeman\, both from the Schulich School of Law from the Dalhousie University\, Canada\, will present their co-authored paper that outlines eight general principles for democratically defensible complaints and discipline for judges. The paper also provides a critical analysis of the new 2023 legislative reforms to the judicial discipline process in Canada\, using the theoretical framework established in the books “Regulating Judges” and “Disciplining Judges”. The arguments in these books are relevant to any democratic society\, while the case study in the co-authored paper applies the theory to a particular jurisdiction. The seminar will be of interest to anyone interested in the intersection of law\, democracy\, and judicial accountability. \nAbout the speakers \nRichard Devlin is a renowned Canadian law professor at Dalhousie University. An esteemed figure in the fields of legal theory\, equality\, legal ethics\, and the regulation of the legal profession\, Devlin became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2015.

SUMMARY:RDV: Traveling across disciplinary boundaries:  A journey into applying literary criticism to public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats
DESCRIPTION:Researchers in the social sciences\, including legal studies\, political science\, social work\, and sociology\, utilize specific\, discipline-based approaches to analyzing written texts\, including frequency counts of words and text segments and determining thematic patterns emerging from the data. This seminar\, with speakers Katrin Križ and Daniela Reimer and discussant Tarja Pösö\, aims to walk participants beyond the boundaries of these social science approaches by introducing the methods of literary criticism and reflecting on their methodological potential. What can social scientists learn from literary criticism methods for analyzing public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats? “Public-facing texts” are documents by street-level bureaucrats like child protection caseworkers\, judges\, teachers\, and police officers written for members of the public as part of public policy implementation. Examples of these texts in child protection are court judgments or university course curricula for future child protection caseworkers. This seminar explores how literary criticism methods could be valuable for systematically examining and interpreting these texts.  \nFirst\, Križ and Reimer will discuss literary criticism methods before reflecting on how social scientists could apply them. Second\, they will use their research about child protection-related court judgments by the European Court of Human Rights as an example. Lastly\, Križ and Reimer invite seminar participants to reflect on how these methods might be useful in their own research when studying public-facing texts by street-level bureaucrats. You are invited to read this information about literary criticism if you want to learn more about it before the seminar (total reading time: 10 minutes):  \n\nLumen Learning. An introduction to literary criticism \nLumen Learning: Approaches to literary criticism \n\nAbout the Speakers  \nKatrin Križ is a Professor of Sociology at Emmanuel College (USA) and a research associate at the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (DIPA).  \nKriž has extensive competence in Social Policy\, Qualitative Social Research\, Sociological Theory\, Public Policy\, Family Studies and Child Welfare. Her research is focused on the role of professional discretion in decisions related to a child’s best interests and child welfare systems in an international context.  \nTogether with colleagues Frøydis Lønborg Haarberg\, Audun Gabriel Løvlie\, and Marit Skivenes at the University of Bergen\, Križ is working on the research project “Children’s Right to Participation”.  \nDaniela Reimer is a Professor at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences\, School of Social Work\, specializing in child and youth services\, family dynamics\, and foster care. Her research focuses on understanding the experiences of children in care\, particularly in transitions and identity formation.  \nReimer has conducted extensive studies on (foster) family cultures\, the interplay of normality and identity among young people in foster care\, and breakdowns within foster care systems. Currently\, she leads a qualitative longitudinal study exploring the experiences of young adults who have transitioned from foster care.  \nTarja Pösö is a Professor Emerita at the Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University (Finland) and Professor II at the Department of Government (University of Bergen).  \nPösö has extensive experience in the studies of child protection\, social work\, and institutional practices\, with a keen interest in cross-cultural perspectives and developing methods and ethics for child protection studies.  \nHer particular research interests are how social workers navigate among different sources of information and interest when making decisions and assessing the outcome of their decisions in child protection\,  the child welfare systems perceive and act with migrant children\, the principle of ‘the child’s best interest’ is included in the decision-making process.  \nHow to participate: At Jekteviksbakken 31 or via this Zoom link.  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Exploring the intersection of food and family intervention policies in England: how are children included?
DESCRIPTION:In England\, a rhetoric of supporting ‘troubled families’ through policy interventions mushroomed during the New Labour years of the late 1990s. At this time\, early years settings became sites of particular interest in which to implement these policies\, seen as places where perceived deficiencies in the household could be addressed. This has led to an overlap of policy domains\, predominantly between early years education and family intervention\, yet also expanding into other areas. In this context\, children’s food policy is seen as an especially fruitful area for intervention\, where the aim of ‘improving children’s diets’ often seems to be interlaced with a concern for ‘improving parenting styles’.  \nBased on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in London between 2016 and 2017\, this paper explores what happens at the intersection of these different policy domains\, examining how particular framings of policy problems – and the solutions developed to address these problems – lead to contradictions and arbitrary results. Linking to wider discussions about the current early childhood education and care (ECEC) landscape in England\, the paper also asks to what extent are children’s viewpoints and experiences considered when interventions are developed\, and what can be gained when doing so in a meaningful way.   \nAbout the speaker \nFrancesca Vaghi is a Research Associate at the School of Social & Political Science at the University of Glasgow\, Scotland. She is currently conducting research on the work of contemporary NHS charities as part of the Border Crossings project: https://more.bham.ac.uk/border-crossings/border-crossings/projects/ \nFrancesca is interested in medical anthropology\, the anthropology of policy\, and childhood studies. She completed her PhD in 2019 at SOAS\, University of London. For her doctoral research\, Francesca conducted ethnographic fieldwork in a state-maintained nursery in London over a 12-month period\, developing a child-centred methodological approach to meaningfully involve children in research. Aside from investigating how children create self and peer identities through food and eating practices\, her work explores how children’s food policy fits into family intervention policies in the context of Britain’s mixed economy of welfare\, and how notions of ‘good food’ and ‘good parenting’ (particularly mothering) are interlinked. Her book\, Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care\, has just been published by Routledge. \nFrancesca is interested in advancing critical approaches in public health\, specifically looking at how dominant policy discourses (re)create and seek to address ‘problems’ that have particular implications for working class and ethnic minority families\, particularly in matters related to food insecurity\, childhood poverty\, and childcare policy. https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/en/persons/francesca-vaghi (Guest researcher at DIPA from the 2nd of April–1st of May). \n  \nHow to participate: You can access the event via this Zoom link.  \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Child Protection Case Law from Constitutional Courts: A Comparative Survey
DESCRIPTION:The right to protection from violence and exploitation is one of the most commonly-protected constitutional rights of children\, being second only to the right to education in the frequency with which it features in national constitutions. For the most part\, the legal framework for vindicating this right is set out at the level of ordinary legislation rather than in constitutional law; but some child protection cases find their way to constitutional courts. These include cases taken by national authorities against parents who are exercising parental rights in a manner detrimental to children; cases taken against national authorities for failing to adequately protect children from violence\, or to protect the rights of child victims in the justice system; and cases where the constitutionality of child protection laws (eg on corporal punishment) is challenged. This presentation will survey a selection of cases from around the world\, seeking to identify common themes and explore the added value of children’s constitutional rights in the arena of child protection. \nAbout the speaker \nConnor O’Mahony is a Professor at the University College Cork (Ireland). He is also the Director of the Child Law Clinic at the university\, through which he works to support litigation concerning children and to advocate for law reform in the area of child law. Professor O’Mahony’s research interests lie broadly in the areas of constitutional law and child law\, with a particular focus on family and children’s rights. From 2019 to 2022\, he served as Special Rapporteur on Child Protection to the Government of Ireland\, a role which included annually reporting on significant child protection developments. \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or via Zoom. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Effects of lawfare: Criminalization of abortion in Peru
DESCRIPTION:How does the criminalization of abortion impact women?\nTherapeutic abortion has been decriminalised in Peru since 1924\, but it was only in 2014 that a protocol was approved to guarantee access to the procedure. However\, in 100 years\, no additional grounds have been legalised\, resulting in thousands of women and pregnant people being prosecuted for the crime of abortion. In this seminar Carolina Neyra analyses the impact of criminalization of abortion and other obstetric events on the human rights of women and pregnant people in Peru.\nThe seminar is based on a national study which is part of a regional report on the criminalisation of women and pregnant people for the crime of abortion in seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\nCarolina Neyra is a lawyer who graduated with honours from the Universidad del Pacífico in Lima\, Peru.

SUMMARY:RDV: The Development of Personal Identity Rights at the European Court of Human Rights: whose rights and what is achieved?
DESCRIPTION:The Development of Personal Identity Rights at the European Court of Human Rights: whose rights and what is achieved?  \nBy reference to applied philosophy and case law\, Jill Marshall explores how human rights law\, and particularly the European Court of Human Rights (the Court)\, has developed and interpreted a right to personal identity\, largely arising from a right to respect for one’s private life – see J Marshall: Personal Freedom Through Human Rights Law? (2009); Human Rights Law and Personal Identity (2014) and Personal Identity and the European Court of Human Rights (2022). This paper continues Marshall’s analysis by reference to the Court’s case law\, concentrating on more recent cases. The paper interrogates the development of these rights analysing whose rights have been protected and what role human rights law plays in the formation\, and protection\, of permissible personal identities\, asking and suggesting some responses to what has been\, and could be\, achieved. Marshall’s analysis includes cases on Islamic headscarves\, secret births\, and intercultural adoption. \nShort Author Biography:  \nProfessor Jill Marshall\, Professor of Law\, Department of Law and Criminology\, Royal Holloway University of London co-directs the interdisciplinary Centre for the Study of Emotion and Law (CSEL). She also leads the Rights and Freedoms research cluster and postgraduate research within her department. She is a qualified lawyer. Her work focuses on the relationship between law and living well\, human flourishing\, what it means to be free\, with a focus on girls’ and women’s human rights. She has written widely on these topics and is the author of three books and one edited collection. Current projects include conceptually distinguishing pregnancy and giving birth from motherhood\, baby boxes and secret births\, deception and identity in the metaverse\, and freedom of religion\, expression\, and identity through dress. \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or Zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: The cost of caring: the professional quality of life of child social workers
DESCRIPTION:The cost of caring: the professional quality of life of child social workers (Camille Verheyden\, Frank Van Holen\, Stephanie Chartier & Johan Vanderfaeillie) \nSeveral international studies show that child social workers are at increased risk of developing burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Causes are: working daily with vulnerable children and families\, confronting others’ traumas\, the many demands and challenges of the job and\, the high workload. In addition\, the sector is currently struggling with high dropout rates and staff turnover. This context forms a threat to the professional quality of life of child social workers resulting in negative consequences for the child social workers themselves\, the persons they accompany and the organisations where they are employed. To date\, there are few results available on the professional quality of life (burnout\, secondary traumatic stress\, compassion satisfaction) of child social workers in Europe and there are none for Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia) so far. To gain insight into this\, we investigated the professional quality of life of child social workers in Flanders and Wallonia. Camille Verheyden and Johan Vanderfaeillie will share their preliminary findings from their study. \nCamille Verheyden is a PhD-student at the Department Psychology\, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her research focuses on family foster care \, child abuse and neglect\, and the professional quality of life of youth care professionals. https://researchportal.vub.be/en/persons/camille-verheyden \nJohan Vanderfaeillie is a Professor at the Department Psychology\, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences\, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He is doing research into child welfare issues\, with foster care and child maltreatment as core subjects. He studies all kinds of issues regarding foster care: breakdown\, reunification\, decision making in foster care and interventions for foster parents. In addition\, he also studies the short- and long-term outcomes of foster placements. His research into child maltreatment focuses on the detection and reporting of child abuse and neglect\, and the outcomes of interventions aiming at preventing child abuse and neglect. https://researchportal.vub.be/en/persons/johan-vanderfaeillie \n\n  \nHow to participate:  At Christies gate 17\, Styrerommet (rom 17.103 ) or digitally via Zoom. \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:Courts as Champions of Women\, Children\, and Marginalised Groups by Brenda Hale
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, October 27th\, former President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom\, Lady Brenda Hale\, Baroness Hale of Richmond will be the Department of Government’s esteemed speaker at the General Seminar in Politics and Government. \nLady Hale is a trailblazer in British law and achieved several historic milestones throughout her career. She notably became the first woman to serve as President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom\, a position she held from 2017 until her retirement in 2020. \nShe received her education at Richmond High School for Girls in North Yorkshire and Girton College\, Cambridge\, where she currently holds the position of Visitor. Lady Hale was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn\, where she was Treasurer in 2017. For nearly two decades\, she taught Law at Manchester University for 18 years\, specialising in family and social welfare law\, and also practiced at the Manchester Bar for a period. \nIn 1984\, she made history as the first woman to join the Law Commission\, which promotes legal reform. Here she played an important role which led to the Children Act of 1989 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. She was also a founder member of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and chair of its Code of Practice Committee from 1990 until 1994\, when she was appointed a Judge of the Family Division of the High Court. She was promoted to the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in 1999 and in 2004 became a ‘Lord of Appeal in Ordinary’ in the House of Lords. This was the top court for the whole United Kingdom\, until the ‘Law Lords’ became the Justices of the newly established Supreme Court of the United Kingdom in 2009. She became its Deputy President in 2013 and President in 2017. \nWhile at Manchester University she was joint founding editor of the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law and authored a number of books\, including The Family\, Law and Society: Cases and Materials and Women and the Law. In 2004\, she helped to establish the United Kingdom Association of Women Judges and from 2010 to 2012 served as President of the International Association of Women Judges\, a world-wide body of both men and women judges committed to equality and human rights for all. A practising member of the Church of England\, she has always taken an interest in religion and the law\, and has written and spoken on the subject many times. \nThroughout her career\, Lady Hale’s impact has reached beyond national boundaries. Her principled stance and intellectual contributions have solidified her legacy as a pioneering figure in the legal community. Through a close connection to academia\, she has provided lectures on justice\, human rights and the legal system\, enriching the discourse in those critical areas. \nTopic of the General Seminar:  \nCourts as Champions of Women\, Children\, and Marginalised Groups \nBoth in legal theory and in practice\, courts are crucial for the protection of vulnerable groups and insular minorities. Most societies give special protection in law to certain groups\, such as children\, religious minorities\, and indigenous peoples\, while for others\, the legal protection is less clear\, for example when it comes to undocumented migrants and future (climate affected) generations. Minority protection are often perceived as threatening important societal interests (parental rights\, the natural family\, security\, economic growth\, green transformation) and increasingly place courts at the centre of heated political contestations. Diverging views between the European Court of Human Right and domestic courts on whose rights should prevail and what the State’s obligations are\, add complexity. How should courts navigate\, when the rights of vulnerable groups place the judiciary at risk of politicization?

SUMMARY:RDV: Abolition of child protection - The ultimate denial of child rights
DESCRIPTION:In the early 2000s the main narrative in the field of child welfare was an optimistic one. It was believed that families could become stronger if they received help in the form of economic and social support. Child welfare professionals could work together with parents in a respectful\, generous\, and culturally sensitive way. It was also believed that parents could change for the better if they were offered a restorative\, healing approach rather than a strict\, punitive response. This approach was meant to be more helpful and supportive to families. \nAlthough there are many who still share this view\, there is also a growing condemnation of child welfare. Some view\, everything about child welfare as wrong\, counter-productive – even a violation of human rights. What’s even more worrying is that the abolitionist viewpoint makes an important error trying to find simple solutions for a very complex issue\, namely\, how to keep kids safe and their families healthy and stable within the context of the flawed national history in the US related to poverty and race. Just as the child welfare field once relied too heavily on family separation\, the abolition school of thought would rid the US of its legally mandated obligation to child safety. \nThe child welfare system in the US has had decades of attempts toward reform\, however the reforms have not gone far enough\, nor have they had the widespread or deep effects that many of us want to see. Still\, if we are going to abandon the current child welfare system\, we must address some of the critical questions that have escaped the profession for decades and helped to drive the call for its end. \nJoin us for a thought-provoking seminar that delves into the pressing issues surrounding child welfare today! \nJill D. Berrick is a Distinguished Professor and the Zellerbach Family Foundation Professor of Social Welfare\, UC Berkeley\, and Professor II at the Department of Government\, University of Bergen. Her research focuses on the child welfare system and efforts to improve the experiences of children and families touched by foster care. Her interests target the intersection of poverty\, childhood development\, parenting and the service systems designed to address family well-being. For over three decades Dr. Berrick has conducted a range of studies examining child welfare services for vulnerable families. She has written or co-written 112 books and numerous articles on topics relating to family poverty\, child maltreatment and child welfare. https://socialwelfare.berkeley.edu/people/jill-duerr-berrick \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or Zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue (Roberto Gargarella)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to our RDV seminar with Professor Roberto Gargarella. He will present the new project he is awarded by the European Research Council (ERC Advanced Grant): “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue». The project aims to make constitutionalism more sensitive to growing democratic demands\, by offering concrete institutional alternatives to channel the demands of democracy and engage with activists and members of civil society\, from a conception of democracy as a “conversation between equals”. The project stems from the deep crisis affecting constitutional democracies around the world and manifests itself both in a growing lack of confidence in constitutionalism and in an increase in citizens’ dissatisfaction with democracy. The ultimate goal is to design institutional proposals that are both respectful of individual rights and the decisions resulting from democratic dialogue. \nRoberto Gargarella\, a full professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Buenos Aires\, teaches at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella in Argentina\, and is the director of the “Institutional Changes for Democratic Dialogue» project at the Department of Law at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. https://www.biennaldepensament.barcelona/en/participants/roberto-gargarella \n  \nHow to participate:  At Jekteviksbakken 31 or zoom.  \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

SUMMARY:RDV: Child participation and child protection: lessons from international research (Aoife Daly)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to our RDV seminar with Professor Aoife Daly. She will give a talk on a paper which is based on her book “Children\, Autonomy and the Courts: Beyond the Right to be Heard“.  This paper is concerned with the influence of children on decisions affecting them. It appears that the right to be heard under Article 12 of the UN convention on the rights of the child has brought some positive change in terms of children simply feeling heard. It is not all about outcomes – the perception of being listened to\, of being taken seriously\, is undoubtedly good for children: I think the judge kind of listened to me in the end.  There is evidence that the right to be heard has encouraged an attitude shift when it comes to hearing children and valuing their views – there is a sense that children should be heard\, at least in some circumstances. Yet there is little point hearing children if their wishes are unlikely to make any difference to outcomes. Indeed Article 12 of the CRC says that children’s views must be given due weight\, which implies some level of influence. What does international research demonstrate in terms of the influence of children’s wishes and child protection proceedings in courts? This paper presents research in this area\, and findings point to inconsistent\, confusing and illogical approaches by the courts to children’s wishes. The reasons for this are considered in this paper. It is emphasised that courts refuse to accept that there is a limited ability to ensure a ‘good’ outcome. This is to the detriment of a good process\, one which prioritises children’s wishes. Courts also think that they are acting as benevolent parents when they impose best interest determinations\, which is mistaken as courts are representatives of the state (and therefore have the threat of force behind them). It is also mistaken because families do not always operate in a ‘parents say\, children do’ It is argued that there is a risk that the Article 12 right to be heard\, and its lack of influence for children in reality\, in fact works to uphold traditional power dynamics. The state wins because children’s wishes can be overridden when they incline against state authorities\, or prevailing beliefs such as ‘contact at all costs.’ It seems that children’s wishes within the ‘right to be heard’ framework are least effective where they are needed the most – where those wishes incline against adults\, and particularly where they incline against the status quo. The question of whether a focus on autonomy would shift this influence gap will be posed. \nAoife Daly teaches law\, and specialises in human rights law. Aoife’s research focuses on human rights based approaches and children’s rights in areas which include environmental rights\, climate activism\, and access to justice. She is at present researching children/youth and how their environmental activism is impacting human rights law. In 2023 she secured a European Research Council Consolidator Grant to build a team to carry out a large scale research study on child/youth climate justice-inside and outside the courts-around the world.

SUMMARY:RDV: Analysis or paralysis? Monitory mechanisms for child protection services in Ireland (Kenneth Burns)
DESCRIPTION:Child protection and welfare systems are one essential part of a nation state’s approach to protecting and promoting the welfare of children. Keane (2022) argues that we are in a new phase of democracy called ‘monitory democracy’. In this phase\, democratic systems develop power scrutinising mechanisms and institutions that focus on public accountability and governance\, with this ‘monitoring’ work being undertaken by government institutions and civil society actors. As child protection and welfare systems are entrusted with significant power by governments\, they are a significant focus of such monitoring. \nThe focus of this paper is to examine the strategies and mechanisms adopted by Ireland to monitor the operation\, quality and development of its child protection and welfare system. In using the term monitor/monitory\, the focus of analysis will be on the Irish system of governance\, oversight and monitoring of state-provided child protection and welfare services. \nKenneth Burns  is a senior lecturer\, Deputy Director of the Master of Social Work course and Director of Practice (social work) at University College Cork. He has worked as a social worker and social work team leader in child protection and welfare. His main research and teaching interests are in child protection policy and practice\, staff retention\, social media abuse in social work\, child care proceedings in the District Court / voluntary care / informal kinship care\, and community-based participatory research. http://research.ucc.ie/profiles/A012/kburns \nHow to participate: At Jekteviksbakken 31 or digitally via Zoom. \nTo receive a zoom invitation to the RDV-webinar\, please contact discretion@uib.no. \nIf the Zoom application is new to you\, we recommend that you press the link well before the events to download the program.

Building on in-depth ethnographic research in the organizations that put a European instrument of migration control into practice\, which is the Schengen visa policy\, Infantino will shed light on the uses of discretion in deciding ‘who gets in’ and the ways in which policy is made on the ground. \nFederica Infantino holds a PhD in political and social sciences from Université Libre de Bruxelles and a PhD in political science\, comparative political sociology\, from Sciences Po Paris. Her main research interests focus on the practices of migration and border control in comparative perspective\, transnational actors and dynamics of policy change\, the involvement of non-state actors in governments’ functions. Her project “Practicing Immigration Detention and Deportation in the EU. Actors\, Organizations and Transnational Policymaking from Below” is funded by the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS-FRS). \nFor participation: send an email to discretion@uib.no \n\nThe webinar is part of the RDV seminar series – a collaboration between the Research Group Law\, Democracy and Welfare at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences\, Center for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (UiB) and the Center for Law and Social Transformation – Lawtransform (UiB/CMI).

SUMMARY:3 Forms of Discretion in Welfare Services
DESCRIPTION:Research group seminar with presentation from Tony Evans. \nWhile street-level bureaucracies — front line public services —  are similar in that they are subject to policies\, operate under conditions of inadequate resources\, and afford frontline workers discretion in their work\, there are also significant differences between  types of public services in the ways they work with policy and the nature and extent of discretion of staff delivering the service.  Different services do different things; the nature of the policy they work with varies\, and the logic of provision and priorities vary between services. Policy\, for instance\, may refer to a precise set of instructions\, or to setting out particular concerns or broad-brush commitments. Some services\, such as benefits provision\, are specified in detailed policy which not only sets out what they can do but also how decisions should be made. Others services\, such as policing\, are subject to a range of policies and concerns often expressed as conflicting demands that have to be balanced and managed in the particular circumstances of their application. And others\, mainly human services\, are primarily thought of in terms what the professionals within provide\, and assumes a logic of service provision to be located in those providing the service. Policy is sometimes more explicit and discretion narrower; it is sometimes looser and relies more on discretion. \nTony Evans is a professor at the Department of Social Work at Royal Holloway\, University of London and guest researcher at the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (UiB) in May 2020. His research focuses broadly on discretion as an organisational practice in welfare policy and practice and as a professional attribute\, particularly in social work. Among other\, he has explored the impact of managerialism on frontline discretion in welfare services\, examined policy implementation analysis and developed a critical re-evaluation of street-level-bureaucracy theory and the relationship between policy and professional practice\, and he has looked at ideas of expertise and ethics and how these relate to claims to discretion in professional practice. Today\, his research includes the exploration of discretion as a creative practice and using drama as a form of research enquiry to understand activity-dependent expertise; and exploring professional ethics as a practical decision-making process – particularly through exploring current tensions in adult social work. \n\nThe seminar is part of the RDV seminar series – a collaboration between the Research Group Law\, Democracy and Welfare at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences\, Center for Research on Discretion and Paternalism (UiB) and the Center for Law and Social Transformation – Lawtransform (UiB/CMI).

SUMMARY:Research seminar: Human Rights and Children’s Rights in Russia
DESCRIPTION:Legitimacy and judicial protection of human rights and children’s rights in Russia \nPresentation by Olga Komshukova\, PhD student at National Research University Higher School of Economics (Russia).  \nProtection of the child’s rights is declared as one of the priority goals in the field of social policy in Russia. However\, the current situation regarding the protection of children’s rights is far from the intended goals. The politicization of this issue does not contribute to the improvement of this situation. Concentration on foreign policy\, sanctions\, and economic crisis are having an additional negative effect. In addition to these conditions\, the Constitutional Court of Russia disagrees with a number of decisions of the ECtHR and allows Russian authorities not to execute them. This generally complicates the situation with the judicial protection of human rights\, and in particular\, children’s rights. \nThis lecture will cover the following issues: \n\nA brief overview of the Russian child protection system: regulations\, principles\, statistics\nHot points: most relevant issues regarding child protection in Russia\nRussia and ECtHR: cases and status of ECtHR decisions in Russia\nLegitimacy and political motivation of the Russian Constitutional Court’s decisions\n\nThe seminar is open for everyone interested.
