News from the Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth
The editors of the Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth are delighted to announce that Johns Hopkins University Press has agreed to publish the Society’s new journal. JHCY will be published three times a year with the first issue released in January 2008. Studying the development of childhood and youth cultures and the experiences of young people across diverse times and places, JHCY will embrace a wide range of historical methodologies as well as scholarship in other disciplines that shares a historical focus. Membership in SHCY now includes an annual subscription to the journal. The inaugural issue surveys the contours of this growing and important field with definitional essays by Jacqueline Bhabha, Wendy Ewald, Paula Fass, Julia Grant, Joseph Hawes, Ray Hiner, Alcinda Honwana, Ping-chen Hsuing, Stephen Lassonde, Kriste Lindenmeyer, Mary Jo Maynes, Steven Mintz, Bianca Premo, Pamela Reynolds, Bengt Sandin, and Peter Stearns. For more information, including a full table of contents and guidelines for submissions, visit the JHCY’s website at: http://www.umass.edu/jhcy. The success of this exciting venture depends both on the quality of our content and on our ability to expand our readership. For both we need the active support of Society members. Publication with Johns Hopkins University Press means that our journal will be widely available on-line through Project Muse and will be included in many of their packages to libraries. Institutional subscriptions are key to securing the economic and intellectual longevity of this project. Please use the attached flyer and urge the libraries at local colleges and universities to subscribe to JHCY. [Download flyer as pdf file.] Send us your new essays on the history of childhood and youth, and urge colleagues and graduate students to do likewise. Make sure that our Book Editor, Jon Pahl, knows about your new books in the field, and help us by writing book reviews and by serving as expert readers of submitted essays. We are very grateful for all the knowledge, energy, and insight so many members of SHCY have brought to this new undertaking and look forward to all the fruitful and engaging collaboration ahead. SHCY is growing up! The Editors,
~~~~ Submission Guidelines for the Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth The Journal for the History of Childhood and Youth welcomes submissions of original article length manuscripts devoted to the historical experiences of children and young people without geographic or chronological limitations. We are interested in empirical studies and theoretical approaches as well as those addressing the historical context of contemporary policy issues. All articles selected as appropriate will be anonymously peer-reviewed by experts in the author’s field of study. The journal does not accept material that has been previously published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere. In general, manuscripts should be submitted in English with American usage and spelling but the journal also has a limited budget for translations. Please contact the editors if you would like to submit an article in a language other than English. Articles submitted for publication should conform to the editorial standards outlined in The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition. All text should be printed on one-sided pages and double spaced throughout, including footnotes and quotations. Author information, including an abstract that details the argument and significance of the piece, must be included on a separate page and all identifying information should be removed from the manuscript prior to submission. Manuscripts can not be returned. Please send two copies of the manuscript as well as an electronic copy to: Brian D. Bunk ~~~~
