CfP: 'From Trauma to Protection', deadline: 30 September 2017
This
is a reminder that the above conference, to be held at the University
of Warwick on 19 and 20 April 2018, is continuing to accept abstract
submissions until 30 September 2017.
'From Trauma to Protection: the twentieth century as the children's
century?' seeks to bring together scholars from a variety of historical
fields and related disciplines to interrogate the place of trauma and
childhood in the twentieth century. How were
ideas of trauma constructed medically, psychologically and
sociologically by professionals working with children? How were these
translated into practical efforts at alleviation by NGOs, government
agents and other groups? And how did children themselves view
these efforts and make sense of their own experiences of maltreatment
or danger?
We would also like to announce that we are currently seeking
submissions for a special conference panel on children and genocide; for
which submissions covering a range of national contexts and exhibiting a
range of methodological approaches would be welcome.
More information, and an extended call for papers, can be found on the conference webpage: www2.warwick.ac.uk/
