THE SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH
The SHCY was founded in 2001 to promote the history
of children and youth.
The organization (1) supports research about childhood,
youth cultures, and the experience of young people across diverse
times and places; (2) fosters study across disciplinary and methodological
boundaries; (3) provides venues for scholars to communicate with
one another; and (4) promotes excellence in scholarship.
To advance these goals the SHCY publishes a newsletter, the SHCY Bulletin,
twice each year, with feature articles, columns on teaching and web resources, a special column for graduate students, news from members, and announcements.
If you are interested in submitting a feature article
or proposing a regular column, contact the newsletter's editor Kathleen Jones (kjwj@vt.edu)
