Subj: [EARLY-CHILDHOOD] Conference - Children at Home
Early-Childhood
THIRD ANNUAL HISTORIES OF HOME SUBJECT SPECIALIST NETWORK CONFERENCE
in association with the V&A Museum of Childhood
CHILDREN AT HOME
Friday 18 March 2011, Geffrye Museum, London, 9.30-17.30pm
While childhood itself has been the subject of scholarly interest,
relatively little has been written on the place of children within the
home, their position within the household and their lived experience of
home. This conference will therefore bring together historical and
contemporary research examining children’s senses of home and
belonging, their familial/ household relationships and their use of
space within the home, as well as their material culture.
Sessions will explore the intimate spaces and memories of working- and
middle-class childhoods, toys and technology in the contemporary home,
homelessness and deprived childhoods, as well as feeling at home in
semi-domestic settings and institutions. Methodological challenges and
innovations will also be discussed throughout the day. The conference
programme reflects the interdisciplinary approach of the Histories of
Home SSN and will draw on sociology, social and economic history, film
studies, cultural anthropology, pedagogy, art history and social work.
Delegate fees
£40/£30 (full-time students), includes light sandwich lunch and
refreshments
