Call for Papers

Children and War: Past and Present

Second international multidisciplinary conference to be held at the
University of Salzburg, Austria, on 10-12 July 2013

Organized by the University of Salzburg and the University of Wolverhampton,
in association with the United Nations Office of the Special Representative
of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict.

This conference is planned as a follow-up to the first conference, which
took place at the University of Salzburg in 2010. It will continue to build
on areas previously investigated, and also open up new fields of academic
enquiry.

All research proposals which focus on a topic and theme related to ŒChildren
and War¹ are welcome, ranging from the experience of war, flight,
displacement and resettlement, to relief, rehabilitation and reintegration
work, gender issues, persecution, trafficking, sexual violence, trauma and
amnesia, the trans-generational impact of persecution, individual and
collective memory, educational issues, films and documentaries, artistic and
literary approaches, remembrance and memorials, and questions of theory and
methodology. Specific conference themes anticipated are:
- Children as victims, witnesses and participants in armed conflict
- Holocaust, genocide and forced labour
- Deportation and displacement, refugees and asylum seekers
- War crimes, trials and human rights

A special focus will be on the ŒChanging nature of armed conflict and its
impact on children¹. In the past two decades, UN reports, including the 1996
study by Graça Machel and its 10-year review, noted with concern that the
character and tactics of armed conflict are changing, creating new and
unprecedented threats to children. Characteristics of the changing nature of
warfare include the blurring of lines between military and civilian targets,
the use of new technologies and the absence of clear battlefields and
identifiable opponents. Extensive research is needed to deal with challenges
emerging from this context, including the use of children as suicide
bombers, the deliberate targeting of traditional safe havens such as schools
and hospitals, the detention and prosecution of children associated with
armed groups, and terrorism and the use of counter-terrorism measures (for
more information, please see the ŒNote by OSRSG-CAAC¹ on our web site:
http://wlv.ac.uk/childrenandwar2013).

Please send an abstract of 200-250 words, together with biographical
background information of 50-100 words by 31 July 2012 to:
J.D.Steinert@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:J.D.Steinert@xxxxxxxxx>. All proposals are
subject to a review process. Successful candidates will be informed in
October 2012 and will be asked to send in their papers by the end of April
2013 for distribution among conference participants on a CD. Further
information will be made available in due time. The organizers intend to
publish a selection of conference papers.

Conference language: English.

Fee for speakers: EUR 150. The fee includes admission to all panels,
lunches, coffee and tea, and evening events.

Participants need to secure their own funding to participate in this
conference. Depending on the outcome of applications, a limited number of
grants to contribute to travel and accommodation costs will be made
available for delegates unable to obtain own funding. As these grants will
be on a refund-only basis after the conference, delegates are still required
to pay the fee, travel and accommodation costs in the first instance.

The organising team: Wolfgang Aschauer (Salzburg), John Buckley
(Wolverhampton), Helga Embacher (Salzburg), Darek Galasinski
(Wolverhampton), Albert Lichtblau (Salzburg), Grazia Prontera (Salzburg),
and Johannes-Dieter Steinert (Wolverhampton).
