Newsletter Needs Your Help!!!
The editors of the Newsletter are looking for volunteers to join us in producing future issues.
Some of the Ways You Can Participate:
- Propose a theme for an issue and act as editor, soliciting articles and pulling together related columns.
- Create a column about the state of the field in your regional or chronological specialty.
- Write a column of news about people and events in your part of the world
- Take over as editor of "Websightings," our column devoted to web resources in our field.
- Work up a new column about your particular interest
- Report on conferences you attend and report on the activities of sub-groups in the big organizations
- Review museums you visit
- Keep the editors apprised of new developments – new groups, new opportunities.
- Develop a new web design for the newsletter. Or take charge of the electronic publishing.
We are looking for ideas – and folks to put the ideas into practice -- that will make the Newsletter a complement to our new Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth and help to keep our community connected between our biennial meetings.
Next Issue: Teaching the History of Children and Youth
Our Winter 2008 issue will be about teaching the history of children and youth.
Consider this note our "call for papers."
We invite you to share your teaching experiences, the courses you have created (and student response), the resources you have used, your best (or worst, if you like) practices.
The editors hope that by focusing attention in one issue we will sustain the momentum in future newsletters, with an editor in charge of a regular pedagogy column.
Deadline for materials for the Winter issue is January 5, 2008
To volunteer, contact any of the current Newsletter editors:
