Of possible interest to Library Youth Services and Youth Literature faculty... From: Patrick Cox, [log in to unmask] The Department of Childhood Studies at Rutgers University-Camden is excited to announce a new listserve catering to the multi-disciplinary field of Childhood Studies. Those of us who study issues around children, childhoods, youth and young adulthood are in far flung departments and professions, separated by disciplinary boundaries. This listserve will be a vital point of connection for scholars and practitioners in the multi-disciplinary field and serve a much needed function as a central clearinghouse of information for our disparate field. We welcome Calls for Papers, Announcements of conferences, events, new books, articles and other resources, requests for information, and information on new programs and departments. This list will also provide an opportunity to find people with similar interests across our broad field and open up discussion within it.
