"Children, Dependency, and Emotions in the Early Modern World"

Annual Event Series on Gender and Intersectionality

Throughout history children have been subjected to violence, coercion, forced labor and separation. Children also developed strategies to cope with their oftentimes deplorable living conditions. This conference is interested in the archival, visual, and material traces some of these children have left - aiming at reconstructing social and emotional worlds of children in early modern global history.

With keynotes by Ann Laura Stoler (New School for Social Research), Bianca Premo (Florida International University) and Johanna S. Ransmeier (University of Chicago).
