A great day at #esrandub - wonderful research exchange. Now for meeting on the next steps for @ESRANUKI

2/2 @amandacahillRip @padraickenna @clumperino w Noam Peleg, Jeff King & Claire Lougarre from @ucllaws & Sally-Anne Way @EssexHRC #esrandub

Superb chairing by @RosalindMcKenna at this session of #esrandub

Peleg: finishes by arguing for pot of CRC as way of developing our conceptualisation of children as beings, not just becomings #esrandub

Peleg:...doesn't transform our understanding/conceptions of children and childhood. #esrandub

Peleg: in perpetuation and marginalisation of children and focus on children's alleged lack of agency/capacity #esrandub Therefore...

Peleg: this is due to (a) gen marginalisation of children & (b) historical focus of cap approach (e.g.Sen) on the 'capable' actor #esrandub

Peleg: Children have been historically ignored by capability approach theorists #esrandub

Peleg: capabilities approach might help us change our understanding of (1) childhood and (2) development #esrandub

Peleg: if we change our 'image' of childhood, will that change our image of the right to development/development? #esrandub

Peleg: ... children as 'becomings'. #esrandub Part of reason for this is dominance of developmental psychology in this area #esrandub

Peleg: rights-based/CRC model of childhood focuses on children as 'beings' BUT when it comes 2 development we tend to revert to... #esrandub

Peleg:...children and capabilities #esrandub

Kenna: outlines housing rights jurisprudence of the #ECSR in both findings on collective complaints and state reports #esrandub

Kenna: traces #ECHR #ESC rights that relate to housing rights under #CFR #esrandub

Kenna: #CFR has difft language to UN instruments - #CFR doesn't allow it to be used as a tool/framework for regression #esrandub

Kenna: Role of #CFR as minimum standards below which EU countries will not be able to go #esrandub.

Kenna: not clear how to define exactly what falls 'within scope' of EU law #esrandub - explores how we might do so
