We are pleased to welcome you to the 17th Annual Conference of the Society for the Study of Childhood in the Past (SSCIP) at Aarhus University, Denmark, on June 25th-27th 2025.
This year’s theme will be Children and Climate Change inviting us to consider the effects climatic changes have had on children, but also how children responded to and coped with such challenges. Moreover, we should consider what role children – as motors of innovation – may have played in adaptation during moments of crisis precipitated by climatic change in the past. It is generally agreed that children were an important part of past societies, yet they are often not considered as active participants in major events in the human past, including those related to climatic changes.
Naturally, contribution on children and childhoods past not directly related to climate change are also welcome.
25 to 27 June 2025
