Inbal Solomon
M.A. Candidate, Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa
Inbal Solomon is a masters student in criminology
at the University of Ottawa. Prior to her post-graduate education,
Inbal was one of the lead organizers of the “Children’s Rights and
International Development” conference, co-sponsored by the Canadian
International Development Agency and the University of Ottawa. This
conference, which involved more than 250 governmental and
non-governmental representatives, academics and students from all over
the world, showcased research projects on the plight of children
internationally and the need to re-conceptualize children as effective
researchers in addition to study informants.
Inbal’s main research interests include child soldiering, children in
institutional care and the militarization of societies. Her M.A. thesis
focuses on the militarization of children in the Middle East. Inbal has
also conducted research on protection and privacy issues regarding
children’s use of the internet, and is particularly interested in
internet-related competing (and often simultaneous) discourses framing
children as dangerous and in need of protection.
