A Conference on Children and Youth in an Interconnected World.
Save the date for a two day conference September 28-29, 2016 at the University of Maryland.
Around the world, the experiences of children range from those with affluence, well-funded schools, and peaceful homes, to those who are impoverished, exposed to violence, and are victims of injustice. This conference seeks to widen and deepen our understanding of childhood and youth in relation to the inequalities of nation, gender, ethnicity/race, class, religion, and minority/majority belonging. It will examine children in conflict and war, as objects of consumption, and as displaced and migrating populations.
