Alberto Minujin contributed to the III National Meeting Childhood and Conflict, organized by the Childhood Sociology Committee of the Spanish Sociological Federation, where he presented Childhoods, Education, and Inclusion: Recent Latin Migrations in New York City. Grounded in Equity for Children’s research, the presentation focused on the lived experiences of Latin migrant women and their children in New York City, highlighting children not only as rights holders, but also as active agents of inclusion who often help their families navigate new systems, translate, and take on caregiving responsibilities. The talk also emphasized the critical role of schools as an institutional bridge for inclusion, showing how educational policies and practices can either reduce or reproduce inequality for recently arrived families.
