Centre for Children and Youth

Description

The NUCoRE Centre for Children and Youth at Newcastle University is a hub of interdisciplinary research. We explore various aspects of young people's lives such as health, education, social development and mental health, aiming to improve the lives of children and young people.

Our researchers use innovative and participatory methods to investigate a number of vital topics. The centre brings together researchers from multiple fields to collaborate on impactful research. These fields include:

• human-computer interaction
• geography
• politics
• sociology
• history
• Education

Addressing inequalities

Through our world-class research and education, we aim to reduce the impact of social and health inequalities on children, support opportunities for growth, and improve childhoods for all.

There is a growing recognition of children and young people’s agency to represent themselves and engage with research that interests them and aims to improve their lives. Our Centre builds on our current research in the arts and humanities, social sciences, health sciences, and design and engineering. We are creating a dynamic and inclusive research community at Newcastle University to address the most important research questions for children, young people and their families.

We work to:

• Bring together Newcastle University’s interdisciplinary research endeavours with and for children and young people;
• Strengthen our links with partners, practitioners and policymakers;
• Establish international collaborations in the research area of children and youth;
• Create an innovative learning environment for postgraduate students and early career researchers;
• Expand Newcastle University’s undergraduate teaching on children and youth;
• Find resources and opportunities to address the challenges identified through the Centre.
