Dear All
I am a geographer with particular interests in children in
sub-Saharan Africa. I have worked/researched with
youngsters in Kenya, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. My current
interests are on young carers (I'd be very keen to hear
from anyone also doing research with young carers),
children in households affected by HIV/AIDS and discourses
about children in/of West Africa.
I am on the editorial board of Children's Geography
and urge all of you out there to submit good
manuscripts as this promises to be an exciting new journal.
More details and instructions for authors at
www.tandf.co.uk/journals. See you at the launch in New
Orleans next March at the AAG, maybe?
