SHCY
Members Approve "Mission Statement"
The
SHCY's Mission Statement was approved unanimously at the business
meeting held at the Baltimore conference.
The
SHCY was founded 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.
Membership
is open to all individuals as well as to cultural and educational
institutions.
SHCY
resources for scholars include regular conferences, an email discussion
list, a website, and publications.
Both
the Mission Statement and the SHCY By-laws are available at the
SHCY website: http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~child/SHCY/
