Symposium

INTRODUCTION
Barbara A. Atwood & Paul Bennett

In October 2002, the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, in collaboration with the Rogers Program on Law, Philosophy, and Social Inquiry, hosted a conference entitled “Youth, Voice, and Power: Multi- Disciplinary Perspectives.” The Conference gave participants an opportunity to consider topics of deep mutual interest through the lense of different disciplines. The topic—the voice and power of youth—is in many ways a riddle. Common aphorisms reveal the tension inherent in the construct of childhood. Consider, for example, “children should be seen and not heard,” or “truth comes from the mouths of fools and children.” The hope of the Conference organizers was that the different disciplines—Law, Philosophy, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology—would offer unique perspectives on the riddle of youth.
