We the Experts Non-adoptee Speaker Panel: Non-Adoptee Scholars
May 10 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
$15This We the Experts is the 2nd non-adoptee speaker series panel of 2025. It will feature scholars who study adoption and child welfare through a critical lens. The panel will explore how scholars positioned outside the adoptee experience navigate inclusion, adoptee-centered narratives, and their relationship to the adoption community. Join Adoption Mosaic to listen and learn from these insightful panelists as they share reflections from their research, writing, and academic journeys.
Points to ponder:
- What are the pros and cons of not having a personal connection to adoption when writing, investigating, and researching about the topic?
- What motivates someone who is not directly impacted by adoption to study the field?
- How can non-adoptee scholars contribute to adoption studies in ways that uplift adoptee-centered narratives and advocacy?
- What gaps still exist in research that, if addressed, could further amplify adoptee voices and experiences?
Adoptees: $10* | Non-adoptees: $15
