Proms Plus: Childhood, Innocence and Experience
A discussion taking its cue from Mahler's 4th Symphony about a child's view of death and heaven in front of an audience at Imperial College London.
The award-winning author of young adult novels, Patrice Lawrence and historian Emma Butcher - who specialises in 19th century child soldiers - discuss the construction of childhood past and present with New Generation Thinker and literary scholar, Lisa Mullen.
New Generation Thinkers is a scheme run annually by the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to turn early career academics into broadcasters.
