Symposium: Global Childhood(s)
and Histories of Science, Technology, and Medicine

This three-day symposium and workshop at the Centre for History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds will bring together an international, muti-disciplinary group of scholars who work at the interface of the histories of science, medicine, and technology, and childhood studies. We welcome participants from across the humanities whose research concerns child health, medicine, technology and the psy-sciences, as well as applied fields including education, public policy, and information sciences. Reflective of current trends that signify the entangled histories of scientific cultures, knowledge, and technologies and the child, childhoods, and childism, the event will promote this innovative area of research and practice while supporting dialogue between different theoretical approaches and methodologies.
