******* CONFERENCE UPDATE ********...
Centre for the Social Study of Childhood,
"Sites of Learning" 14th - 16th September 1999, University of Hull
An interdisciplinary conference on childhood
This conference addresses the theme of children' s learning in and across a
diverse range of social settings - the home, school and playground; the
street; the media and the Internet. Through exploring these different
sites of childhood our aim is bring together a range of disciplinary
perspectives on the different ways in which children learn , the
different places in which this learning takes place and the different
experiences of learning which children have - with their peers, their
parents and the professionals they encounter.
Conference themes include:
* The transfer and exchange of knowledge and ideas between children
themselves, in the
street, at home, in the playground ....
* Ways and modes of children's learning - generational, spatial, visual,
oral...
* Children's resources for learning - their social, economic, political and
material capital or lack of it...
* Children's appropriate and inappropriate knowledges ...
The Annual Lecture of the Centre will be given during the conference by Dr,
Martin Woodhead, Centre for Human Learning and Development,
Open University
