Call for Manuscripts

 

Girls in the World:  A Global Anthology

Edited by Jennifer Hillman Helgren and Colleen A. Vasconcellos

 

Abstract Deadline:  February 28, 2006

 

We invite proposals for manuscripts to be included in a collection of essays
on the history of girlhood in international and transnational contexts.  The
purpose is to understand the centrality of girlhood in shaping women's lives
and to study through a comparative framework how age and gender, along with
a multitude of other identities, mold and influence women's experiences.  

                          

Essays will contribute to developing cross-national perspectives and
methodologies in the history of gender, children, and youth.  Moreover, we
feel that given current trends toward globalization, it is imperative that
scholars address ordinary individuals' relationships to war, migration,
economic markets, and institutions.  Girlhood is defined broadly, and we
welcome analysis of the category of girlhood itself.  Manuscripts examining
girls' experiences in Africa, Latin America, Australia, and Canada are
especially welcome.  

 

While essays may cover a range of topics, regions, and time periods, we are
interested in research that addresses one or more of the following
questions: 

                                                

*	How have international developments, such as migrations, wars,
globalization, labor, economic markets, and international diplomacy,
influenced girls' lives, cultures and/or identities? 

*	What have been girls' roles in creating communities and shaping
cultures internationally, nationally, and locally? 

*	To what extent have girls operated as global actors and agents?  

*	What roles have girls played, both symbolically and actively, in
global political arenas? 

*	When are girls' cultures subcultures of dominant national cultures
and when do they cross (and even challenge) national boundaries? 

*	How have girls' cultures been constituted through their responses to
cultural, institutional, and familial expectations?  

*	How do girls' educational, health, legal rights, material culture,
and play vary across time and place? 

*	How do images of and for girls in literature, art, and photography
vary across time and place?

*a 250-word abstract and title
