Graduate Student Publication Opportunity: Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) Sponsored E-Journal Called Childhoods Today

The Worldwide Universities Network is planning to publish a new journal, Childhoods Today. This will be an e-journal to be published bi-annually in the first instance, by the Centre for the Study of Childhood and Youth at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom, and supported by the Worldwide Universities Network.

The aim of the journal is to publish high quality empirical and theoretical work by up-and-coming researchers in the field of childhood studies and to provide a reference for others working in this and related fields.

Childhoods Today will be an externally reviewed journal that is unique in providing an international forum designed exclusively for the publication of articles by postgraduate students (i.e., those studying for their MA, M.Phil. or PhD, as opposed to post-doctoral students) working in the field, which can be accessed by other interested postgraduates and academics.

Childhoods Today will be edited by Professor Adrian L. James, Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield and Norwegian Centre for Child Research (NOSEB), University of Trondheim. Professor James would be very interested to hear from students who would like to submit work to the journal.

More information about the journal can be obtained at: http://www.cscy.group.shef.ac.uk/e-journal/index.htm.
