Join the University of Pittsburgh for a two-day conference centered around marginalized children.
The past decade has witnessed an array of new forms of public and global interest in these groups of children, including the incredible rise in the visibility of lesbian, gay, and transgender children, the international migrations of refugee children from Latin America and the Syrian conflict, or the over-incarceration and detention in the United States of undocumented and African American children.
Explore how to conceptualize, theorize, and approach research on children and childhood in the rapidly changing context of the twenty-first century.
Hosted by the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Program, the Children’s Literature and Childhood Studies Program, and the Humanities Center at the University of Pittsburgh, attendance is FREE and open to the public, but registration is required.
*For those unable to physically attend, a stream option will be available.
