Are organized activities, overscheduling and excessive amounts of homework crowding out free time and constricting children's imaginations and social skills? Howard P. Chudacoff's new book, Children at Play: An American History (New York University Press), explores the tension between how children spend their free time and how adults want them to spend it.
Join us for an exciting evening with Brown professor Howard Chudacoff, a member of the Brown history faculty since 1970, as he shares the fascinating history of playgrounds, the advent of commercial toys and toy advertising, and the evolution of our cultural intolerance for the risks and freedoms of children at play.
George L. Littlefield Professor of American History and Professor of Urban Studies, Professor Chudacoff is known for being an engaging speaker, and is a favorite of many students past and present.
Read a New York Times review of his recently published book, Children at Play: An American History.
