Representation is said to matter, but I didn't see myself in the world around me growing up. Whom did I see? With whom was I supposed to identify? What about my children? And what about in children's books? What do children see? How to measure it? (a thread 🧵👇🏾) 1/n

Go read Mandi Ackerman’s amazing work on how kids think about their social class identity!

Have you ever wondered who kids trust when learning about social inequalities? How people like parents and friends might play into the mix? Or how kids go out and spread this info themselves? Come find out at our symposium @SRCDtweets on the 24th at noon in meeting room 155A!
