| To
Our Readers:
This issue of the SHCY “Newsletter” examines the emergence
of a “conference identity” for the history of children and
youth. Targeted panels on the history of children and youth are becoming
regular features on the programs for meetings of our professional organizations,
and we seem to be facing an explosion in the number of specialized conferences.
And, not only are more conferences and panels taking place, these events
are occurring around the world and feature presenters from many nations
and disciplines. These conference events certainly underscore the robust
nature of our research and the health of the field.
The highlight of this issue of the “Newsletter” is the news
from our own Milwaukee event, the 3rd biennial conference of the Society
for the History of Children and Youth. The issue’s conference coverage,
however, is not limited to Milwaukee. Our recent request for members to
share their conference experiences netted a cache of reports about the
many settings in which scholars are talking about the history of children
and youth. You will find them compiled in the feature article, “The
Conference Circuit.” And, of course, the newsletter’s regular
column, “News from the Field,” regularly alerts readers to
upcoming conferences.
We hope to make the conference circuit an ongoing part of the “Newsletter.”
All of us cannot attend all the conferences where the history of children
and youth finds a home. So, we want to invite and encourage attendees
to send us accounts of the conferences you are able to attend and the
panels and papers you sit in on or present. Through these reports, SHCY
members can share discoveries of new outlets for research and draw attention
to different communities of scholars who deserve to know about the importance
of studying history from the perspective of the child and the child from
a historical perspective!
With best wishes from the editors of this issue,
Kathleen Jones
