DESCRIPTION:Paul-André Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law 2022 
 Summer Seminars\n	With Jean-Frédéric Hübsch - PhD Student\, Faculty of Law\
 , University of Ottawa \n\nAbstract\n\nDemocracy implies both citizen part
 icipation in the life of the state and that the state is accountable to ci
 tizens for its actions. Public schools in Canada are\, among other things\
 , intended to help socialize children into democratic society. However\, t
 he processes that govern decision-making in schools are generally designed
  by and for adults\, and often disregard children’s experiences as citizen
 s in society. What\, then\, might child-focused decision-making processes 
 look like in the public education context? \n\nThis seminar explores publi
 c schools as statutory bodies with a duty to act fairly\, places for exper
 iencing rights\, and environments for children’s participation in democrat
 ic society. It will begin with an examination of administrative law and of
  administrative justice in public education (mostly in Ontario\, with some
  comparisons to Quebec and British Columbia). It will then look to the Uni
 ted Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as a starting point for 
 a children’s rights-based approach to decision-making in schools. It will 
 conclude on an interdisciplinary note by touching on pedagogical theories 
 that could support educators in ensuring their decision-making respects ch
 ildren’s rights. \n\nAbout the speaker\n\nJean-Frédéric Hübsch is a doctor
 al student at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law and is a member of
  the University’s Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of t
 he Child. His doctoral research lies at the intersection of administrative
  law\, democratic pedagogies\, and rights-respecting research with childre
 n. \n\nPrior to his doctoral studies\, Jean-Frédéric spent five years as c
 ounsel at the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman\, where his work focused on 
 reviewing and investigating complaints from the public relating to educati
 on\, municipalities\, administrative tribunals\, child welfare\, and Frenc
 h-language services. He remains an active member of the Ontario Bar Associ
 ation’s Child and Youth Law and Education Law sections. \n\nJean-Frédéric
