Rutgers
University's Center for Children and Childhood Studies
is pleased to announce the 3rd annual seminar series and
fellowship program.
Seminar
Series
The purpose of the seminar series is to bring together
scholars from a variety of disciplines working in the
area of childhood studies to discuss their work and directions
for future research. We anticipate 40 participants (6
fellows and 34 members) from the greater Philadelphia
area, New York, and Washington DC. Seminars will be held
once a month beginning Fall 2004 on the Rutgers University
Camden Campus. Refreshments and a stimulating discussion
will follow each presentation.
Fellowships
for Junior and Senior Scholars
In an effort to foster research and dialogue among senior
and junior scholars in childhood studies we will offer
3 junior and 3 senior fellowships. All fellows will receive
a $2500 honorarium in consideration for their presentation
and attendance at each session.
Members
In addition to the 6 fellows there are approximately 34
member positions. Each month members attend the seminars
and participate in discussions. If you would like to be
a member simply send an email stating your interest in
the seminar and your area of research.
The
Rutgers University Center for Children and Childhood Studies
promotes understanding, enrichment and the recognition
of the significance of the experiences of childhood through
(1) support of interdisciplinary inquiry into the lives
of children in the city of Camden, the US and abroad;
(2) development and evaluation of service and outreach
programs for children; (3) dissemination of knowledge
to those directly responsible for ministering to children's
needs and to those formulating policies affecting their
lives and futures; and (4) development of innovative and
interdisciplinary courses, research and service internships
that equip university students and the public to make
informed decisions concerning children and youth.
