Marquette to Host Conference on History of Children and Youth Released: Aug. 2, 2005 Marquette University will host the Third Biennial Conference of the Society for the History of Children and Youth from Thursday, August 4, to Sunday, August 7, 2005. Sessions will be held in the Raynor Memorial Libraries, located at 1355 W. Wisconsin Ave, and are open to the public. Panelists will address the conference theme, “Children's Worlds, Children in the World” through discussion of national and transnational processes involved in the transmission of ideas and practices relating to children in different cultures and time periods. The conference will also investigate the cultures of childhood that have evolved in the mass media and in children's play spaces, schools, work sites, and domestic environments. Historians at the conference will examine such timely issues as changes in twentieth-century family configurations, transformations in juvenile justice, and globalization and childhood. Panelists include highly regarded historians, developmental psychologists, sociologists and anthropologists, many of whom are also engaged in public policy issues related to children and families.
