CALL FOR PAPERS
Global Studies of Childhood www.wwwords.co.uk/GSCH

Philosophical and Sociological Perspectives on Childhood,
Youth and Adolescence: troubling the global/local nexus

Guest Editors: DAVID W. KUPFERMAN, University of Hawai’i-West O’ahu, SOPHIA RODRIGUEZ, College of Charleston, & MAREK TESAR, University of Auckland

Childhood, youth and adolescence are contested notions. What do we mean by these terms and how do we employ them? How do/did we come to know these categories? Who or what invented them? The concern of this special issue is with the ontological and epistemological knowledges in play with regard to the categories of childhood, youth and adolescence, what they do and how they perform, what they represent and how these categories and brackets are perceived by all actors, both those that are in-side and those who are out-side of them. This special issue of Global Studies of Childhood (www.wwwords.co.uk/GSCH) calls for a re-thinking of these concepts. The disciplines of philosophy and sociology are elevated in this call for papers, with the expectation that these perspectives will allow authors to theorize these concerns in unexpected, innovative and cutting edge ways, in relation to the complicated globalized contexts of local experiences and lives.  Possibilities include:

– Emerging connections and contradictions, synergies and tensions of relationships between childhood, youth and adolescence through philosophical and sociological lenses;
– Disciplinary problematisations of classical, analytical, critical and postmodern philosophies of childhood, youth and adolescence;
– Theorising and re-theorising the relationships of childhood, youth and adolescence within and in relation to the local and global challenge;

The guest editors welcome a broad range of abstracts from different disciplinary and methodological perspectives, with a preference for theoretical, philosophical and sociological analyses of the complexities of childhood, youth and adolescence.

Expressions of interest: please submit your abstract of 500-800 words (including key references), and a short bio of each author to the guest editors by 31 March, 2015. Acceptance of abstracts and invitations to submit full papers will be sent by 30 May, 2015.

Deadline for full papers: full papers of no more than 6000 words (including references), are due by 31 August, 2015. The special issue is expected to be published in the first half of 2016.

Authors are strongly encouraged to read carefully the journal’s ‘How to contribute’ page: www.wwwords.co.uk/gsch/howtocontribute.asp
