[ecrea] CFP: Digitising Early Childhood International Conference 2018

*Digitising Early Childhood International Conference 2018*

*CALL FOR PAPER ABSTRACTS AND PANEL PROPOSALS*

*http://www.digitisingearlychildhood.com/ *

**

Contemporary children and their parents are inventing what it is to have 
a digital childhood, and in doing so are introducing families, schools 
and policy makers to new ways of thinking, doing and being. This 
conference discusses and expands research trajectories through these 
uncertainties and also aims to build bridges across the different 
discipline interests and many strands of research in this area.  It will 
forge a new way forward and consolidate the base of what we already 
know, revealing what we have yet to investigate and address, and what 
important insights are emerging that must be taken seriously.


Paper abstracts (350 words) and panel proposals (90 minutes) should be 
forwarded to (digitisingearlychildhood /at/ ecu.edu.au) 
<mailto:(digitisingearlychildhood /at/ ecu.edu.au)>prior to 16^th March 2018.

This conference welcomes papers that address the broadest possible 
construction of early childhood and the digital.  There will be 
publication opportunities and selected papers will be invites as 
chapters for an edited collection; papers from the 2017 Conference 
resulted in a forthcoming volume published by Cambridge Scholars.
