Dear Colleagues,

An updated Call for Papers specifying how to submit paper and panel proposals is available at www.yorku.ca/irscl17/cfp.html .
I am looking for a fourth paper for a panel entitled: "Agency, Structure, and Violence: Children and Youth Participation in Mid-20th-century Movements." We currently have papers on children's participation in political campaigns in the People's Republic of China, youth in the civil war in Lebanon, and political education in Soviet summer camps.
Panel: Transactions of ‘care’ – commodification of children in paid foster care
I am looking for a panelist and a chair (discussion facilitator) for a panel focusing on African American children’s culture in the 1970s (or thereabouts), to propose for the 2017 SHCY conference, June 21-23 at Rutgers - Camden.
A panel for next year's SHCY conference is looking for one more participant. The panel is interdisciplinary and focuses on children and adolescents during the 1970s. If interested please contact Jenny Diamond Cheng at jenny.d.cheng@law.vanderbilt.edu

I’m seeking papers to form a panel to be proposed for SHCY17 on transformations of the child’s body. My work will address the child’s body at school in early nineteenth-century New England, both as conceived by educators and as experienced by children. I can envision other papers dealing with transformations of the child’s body in schooling or in medicine, childrearing, sport, slavery, or other work, either discursively or in practice, across a span of time and space.
We are pleased to announce that registration is open for the 19th biennial conference of the Canadian History of Education Association/Association canadienne d’histoire de l’education. CHEA/ACHÉ is Canada’s national, bilingual association to promote the study of the educational past (www.ache-chea.ca).
Hi, Matthew,
I specialize in children's/YA literature, an area in which a lot of work has been done with trauma. I recommend looking at Eric Tribunella's Melancholia and Maturation (2010), which should lead you to a variety of other sources.
Best,
Paige
