RN04 - Esa 11th Conference

RN04 – Sociology of Children and Childhood

Coordinators:
Tom Cockburn t.d.cockburn@bradford.ac.uk Division of Social Science and Criminal Justice, University of Bradford, UK
Hanne Warming hannew@ruc.dk Department of Society and Globalisation, Roskilde University, Denmark

The Research Network aims to bring together scholars across Europe engaged in both theoretical and empirical work on children and childhood. There has been successful Sociology of Childhood Streams at the last seven ESA Conferences (1999 – 2011). The general theme of the 2013 conference is `Crisis, Critique and Change’, and the various sessions will address children’s lives and social relations in the context of societal change.

The Research Network has had a recent successful mid-term Symposium in Jyvåskylå, Finland in June 2012, where we had a number of important contributions to bring forward our sociological theorising of children and childhood. We would like to build on those theoretical insights and invite both theoretical and empirical abstracts on the following themes:
