“Students Writing,” 1935–43. Image: Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture

Interested in writing for us? We welcome contributions from scholars of children and youth at all levels and of all affiliations (students, postdocs, professors, and independent scholars).

We’re open to all of your suggestions, however, the primary sections we’re commissioning for are Reviews (pieces of 700–800 words on a relevant trade book, film, exhibition, etc.) and Childish Things (pieces of 300–400 words spotlighting an artifact in the history of children or youth). We’re also seeking interviews with recent Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth authors.

To propose a piece or nominate yourself for an interview, please send an email with a brief pitch and short biography to the editors: digitalchildhoods@shcy.org.
