1. CALL FOR PAPERS, SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH, JUNE 25-27, 2013
Conference Theme: “Space and Childhood in History”

The Sixth Biennial Conference of the Society for the History of Children and Youth will be held June 25-27, 2013, at the University of Nottingham in Great Britain.

The Program Committee invites scholars to submit proposals for formal panels, roundtable discussions, and research-in-progress workshops on any aspect of the histories of children and youth, from any place and in any era. But we are especially interested in sessions that examine and compare how space and childhood are mutually constitutive in historically and geographically specific settings. Our call, inspired by the French political philosopher Henri Lefebvre, posits that for any person, including children and youth, there is a dynamic rather than a static relationship between a physical place, its social make-up, and childhood as an ideal or imagined condition. The production of space, as Lefebvre famously insisted, happens in the physical world, the social world, and the imagined world. We ask scholars to investigate space not just as a backdrop for the lived experiences of children but as a tangible, social, and discursive construction, which shapes and is shaped by the lives and experiences of children. Although committee prefers proposals for complete sessions and panels that incorporate international representation and global perspectives, individual papers will also be considered.

Submitting proposals
In order to be considered for the program, proposals must be received no later than October 31, 2012. All parts of the proposal should be gathered into one PDF document and sent as an email attachment to james.marten@marquette.edu.

2. ISCHE 35: EDUCATION AND POWER: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES, RIGA, LATVIA, 21-24 AUGUST 2013
Education per se is power, or so educators truly believe. Education is able to influence politics, the businessenvironment, faith, teachers and parents, as well as the media.

Throughout time, power in the field of education has been attempted to be realized, demonstrated, proven and imposed by a variety of actors: politicians, public figures, the clergy, business people, warlords, teachers, parents, and the mass media among others. The power structure has changed according to the political system, market economy, tradition, and even fashion.

Therefore, ISCHE 35 will focus on the following issues: how does power – usurped or self-proclaimed, appointed, democratically or naturally won – act upon the field of education? How has power affected teachers and their education? How does teacher education affect power? How has power and education affected childhood and adolescence and has it influenced the lived identity of men and women? How is power reflected in curriculum, textbooks, and teaching aids? How do the educational sciences serve power, and how do they legitimize power? How can we identify and explain the relationship between power and education? How possible in the field of education is it to support, restrict, stimulate and deny through power? Does power encourage resistance and how does this occur? Is it possible to resist power in education?

Important deadline :Submission of proposals – 31 December 2012
