Children and Childhoods Conference 2024

We are excited to announce the 6th biennial Children and Childhoods Conference!

Building on a successful legacy, we invite papers that theoretically and empirically engage with children’s lives, across disciplines, reflecting the diverse nature of childhood studies. The conference continues our inclusive and open ethos and aims to bring together established academics, early career researchers, and postgraduate students.  

This year, in response to the grave repercussions of the recent pandemic, ongoing civil wars, globally, and the ever-growing inequalities, we seek to build dialogue on the ways to move forward towards a transformative future for children. Accordingly, the overarching theme for 2024 is 'Children and Future-making'.

We welcome traditional presentations, pre-formed panels of speakers, workshops and posters as well as any alternative modes of presentation (say, performance, film or photography).

Please send 250-word abstracts for a 20-minute presentation, 500-word abstracts for panels and workshops, and 150-word abstracts for posters or alternative presentations to:

uoschildhoodspapers@uos.ac.uk.

Kindly include in your submission your name, email address and institutional affiliation. The deadline for submissions of abstracts is 15th April 2024.
