We're delighted to interview our member, Elizabeth Dillenburg, about her new book, Empire's Daughters: Girlhood, Whiteness, and the Colonial Project (2024): www.qmul.ac.uk/clpn/news-vi...

The Childhood & Youth Network of @socscihistory.bsky.social (co-chaired by our members @kalexand.bsky.social, @edillenburg.bsky.social & Mary Jo Maynes) invites session/paper proposals for the SSHA conference. Proposals due 1 March. The conference will be held in Chicago in November.

I’ve created a starter pack for historians of childhood and youth, all periods and places. Reply below if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/NWwKFQm

I’m very grateful to the Ohio State Libraries and the Ohio State Open Access Monograph Initiative for making it possible for Empire's daughters to be available open access: doi.org/10.7765/9781...

In 2009, I wrote my first paper about girlhood in the British Empire. Over the last 15 years, the ideas first planted in that paper have grown into my book, Empire’s daughters, which is officially published today with @manchesterup.bsky.social manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526163516/
