Haircuts by Children and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract

His latest book Haircuts by Children and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract is a innovative proposal for the radical inclusion of children. Darren insists that working with kids in the cultural industries can be a pilot for a vision of a very different role for young people in the world—one that the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child considers a “new social contract.”
