SHYC CONFERENCE IN SWEDEN

Keynote Speakers

PROFESSOR HUGH CUNNINGHAM
University of Kent

PROFESSOR LINDA GORDON
New York University

The fourth biennial conference of the Society for the History of Children and Youth is the first to be held in Europe. It is organized through the Department of Child Studies, Linköping University (LiU) at Campus Norrköping. The conference will be held in the historic and beautiful centre of Norrköping, one hour and thirty minutes south of Stockholm.

Norrköping is today the best preserved textile mill town in Northern Europe. In the 17th century a number of spinning mills and cotton factories were established along the banks of the Motala River. By the mid 19th century, Norrköping was the second largest	industrial city in Sweden and 70 percent of Sweden's textiles were manufactured here. Many of the old buildings have been preserved and are today used by Linköping University.
