Call for Papers NEW DIRECTIONS IN CHILDREN'S GEOGRAPHIES 7th and 8th September 2006 Centre for Children and Youth The University of Northampton Convenors: Faith Tucker, John Horton, Peter Kraftl, Sarah Armstrong Themes: The growth of geographical research on the experiences and lifestyles of children and young people has been well documented. The vibrancy of this research field is illustrated, for example, by the publication in 2000 of Holloway and Valentine's Children's Geographies: playing, living learning, the launch of Children's Geographies journal in 2003, a special edition of the Geographical Associations' Geography journal (2003), and regular sessions at international conferences. We propose that it is timely for researchers to step back, reflect upon progress made to date, and debate new directions in children's geographies. We invite papers on the following themes: * the body, emotions and children's geographies * the ethics of children's geographies * participatory research with children * critical approaches to designing environments for children * mobilities and children's geographies * quantitative approaches to childhood research * popular culture and children's geographies * teaching, learning and children's geographies Abstracts (c.200 words) should be emailed to: [log in to unmask] by 31st March 2006. If you would like to present a paper on a 'new direction in children's geographies' not listed above, please let us know. For further information, please contact Dr Faith Tucker (email: [log in to unmask] ). ************************************************************************************************ This e-mail is private and may be confidential and is for the intended recipient only.
