The Department of Childhood Studies at Rutgers University-Camden is pleased to announce an international conference on the topic of "Children and War" to be held April 3-5, 2009. Rutgers-Camden is a leader in the national and international discourse on the state of children and childhood in the US and internationally.
The impact of war and armed conflict on children, and the various roles they play during wartime, is a timely subject of keen interest that cries out for historicizing and in-depth investigation. In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of the field of childhood studies, papers will be presented by scholars from around the world who work in sociology, anthropology, literature, psychology, history and religion have accepted invitations to speak at the conference. They will be joined by human rights lawyers and NGO officials.
The "Children and War" conference will be held in Philadelphia and on the Rutgers-Camden campus. The conference is free and open to the public.
