Roger Hart
Professor of Environmental Psychology, City University of New York
I'm a professor in psychology at CUNY, trained in geography and most affiliated with the interdisciplinary field of childhood studies. Much of my research has been on children's use and experience of the environment to try to improve planning and design for them, as well as to find methods for giving them a voice. I have helped International agencies, like the UN and Save the Children, with different projects all over the world that think about child participation.
EXPs by Roger Hart
The United Nations launched the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) became the most universally ratified treaty in history.
The participation articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child state children have the right to be heard.
We need a radical transformation of environmental education in schools that can match the passion that children are increasingly feeling for the subject.
