Lots of 19thC activity at the Oxford Centre for the History of Childhood this term!
histchildoxford.bsky.social
We're delighted to share the programme for this term's History of Childhood seminar series. We can't wait to hear from all our fantastic speakers. Join us for our first session on Monday 20 October, at Magdalen College Oxford or online via Teams at 11am when we'll be thinking all about 'play'!
Programme for the History of Childhood seminar series Michaelmas 2025. Seminars are on Mondays 11:00-12:15 at Magdalen College Oxford (Sophia Sheppard Room) and online via Microsoft Teams. All welcome and to join us for lunch afterwards. 
On Monday 20 October there is a welcome seminar and discussion of approaches to ‘play’ within histories of childhood and youth. Meet with other researchers working on histories of childhood and youth, with papers exploring ‘play’ from: Fiona Maxwell (University of Chicago) on drama and performativity; Holly Nielsen (historian and narrative designer) on board games; and Caitlin Hendrie (Macquarie University) on archaeological approaches. On Monday 3 November Joey Rauschenberger will speak on ‘Children on the streets. Conceptual thoughts on a history of modernity and empirical explorations on the example of the late German Empire.’ On Monday 17 November, Charlotte Canizo will give a paper on ‘Crossing Borders, Reshaping Lives: Jewish Orphan Migrations and Humanitarian Relief Before the Holocaust (late nineteenth - early twentieth century)’. Our final seminar is on Monday 1 December when Aisha Djelid will present on 'Enslaved Children, “Adultification,” and Resistance in the antebellum US South, 1812-1861'.
