Boundaries of childhood can be approached as social, geographical, institutional, legal, cultural, methodological and ethical. We invite researchers from different fields to consider how boundaries, boundlessness and crossing boundaries or porosity manifest themselves in childhood and childhood studies. We will discuss the boundaries of childhood, adolescence and adulthood, as well as the social, legal and cultural boundaries faced by children. We welcome insights that challenge traditional ways of understanding childhood and open up new directions for exploring this stage of life.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->We invite presentations to the conference that examine boundaries in childhood and childhood studies through, for example, the following questions:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the methodological and ethical boundaries of childhood studies?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li>What does it mean to grow and live on boundaries \u2014 physical, symbolic, or experienced?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What kind of opportunities do children have to define their own boundaries?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where are the boundaries of childhood in different cultures and communities?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the boundaries between the researcher and the child participating in the research, and what do interpreting and crossing these boundaries mean for science?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the legal and ethical boundaries related to children\u2019s access to information and decision-making in various social activities and services?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How are the boundaries of normal childhood, development and growth defined?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How do adults colonise childhood and how is childhood utilised, for example, in politics?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How, for example, can perspectives from sociology, history, cultural studies, psychology, education, law, arts, health sciences and other fields enrich childhood studies and open up new, cross-border opportunities for collaboration?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the methodological and ethical boundaries of childhood studies?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion accordion-js\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion__button\" aria-controls=\"content-768\" aria-expanded=\"false\" id=\"accordion-control-768\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"accordion__heading\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPaper presentation\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion__content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-control-768\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"content-768\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW22888406 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW22888406 BCX0\">Paper sessions bring together <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW22888406 BCX0\">presentations on ongoing or completed research projects.
