March 20th, 2008 Filed Under Spotlight
A new journal, the Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, is debuting in the library’s online resource, Project Muse. You can access Project Muse via the library’s A-Z listing of online databases.
According to Johns Hopkins University Press,
The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth explores the development of childhood and youth cultures and the experiences of young people across diverse times and places. JHCY embraces a wide range of historical methodologies as well as scholarship in other disciplines that share a historical focus. The journal publishes original articles based on empirical research and essays that place contemporary issues of childhood and youth in a historical context. Each issue also includes an “object lesson” on the material culture of childhood, contemporary policy pieces, and relevant book reviews. JHCY is the official journal of the Society for the History of Children and Youth.
