DIGITISING EARLY CHILDHOOD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE - CALL FOR PAPERS
(Abstracts Submission Extended to 31 May)

http://www.digitisingearlychildhood.com/call-for-papers.html

Contemporary 0-8 year olds 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
constructs a research trajectory 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.

Keynote Speakers

Professor Sonia Livingstone
Professor Jackie Marsh
Dr Donell Holloway
Dr Brian O’Neill
Professor Lelia Green
Professor Caroline Barrett-Pugh
Assoc. Professor Tama Leaver
