ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode Jess chats to Professor John Wall about extending suffrage to children. They discuss how giving children the right to vote could overcome some challenges currently faced by democracy such as short-termism and why some arguments against giving children the vote simply do not hold up to scrutiny.
John Wall is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Religion, and Childhood Studies at Rutgers University Camden, as well as Director of the Childism Institute and the Children's Voting Colloquium. His work focuses on ageless suffrage and empowering children, including developing the critical theory of childism.
