Panel for SHCY conference on market-based child welfare
Hi,
We are interested in organizing a panel for the SHCY conference in Sydney next year on the long history of market-based out-of-home care for children. Historical research on children’s homes, foster care, mother and baby homes etc has primarily focused on institutions run by the state, philanthropic organizations and church congregations, leaving care providers on the market invisible and unproblematized. We are investigating the role of many small entrepreneurial care providers within the Swedish child welfare system during the 20th century, and we are keen to learn about market-based out-of-home care in other geographical settings.
If you are interested to join this panel, please send email Johanna.skold@liu.se the following before May 25:
- 250-word abstract of your paper
- 1 page CV
–department and institution
–address and e-mail address
The general call for papers is available at: https://networks.h-net.org/node/18732/discussions/1575735/cfp-shcy-2019-sydney-australia
Best wishes,
Johanna Sköld and Johanna Sjöberg, Child Studies unit, Department of Thematic Studies, Linköping University, SWEDEN
