Share your perspectives. The Call for Proposals deadline is 28 September 2015.
The 2016 Global Summit on Childhood will be held in San José, Costa Rica, from31 March – 02 April 2016. Participants at the summit will have the opportunity to explore the status and outlook of childhood from diverse perspectives and disciplines such as childhood studies, education, sociology, anthropology, public health, nutrition, architecture and design, neuroscience, and social work. The theme of the summit, “Creating a Better World for Children and Youth through Sustainability, Social Innovation, and Synergy,” is particularly timely, as 2016 marks the official implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals that will be adopted by the United Nations this September. These goals intend to guide a path toward inclusive and shared prosperity in a peaceful and resilient world. Since children and youth will be the torchbearers of this new world vision, we must embrace a shared vision of a better world for our children.
The Call for Proposals can be accessed here. Please feel free to share with your colleagues and networks.
Flexible sponsorship opportunities are also available to promote your program or organization.

The ChLA Diversity Committee seeks paper proposals for a panel on diversity and visual representation in children’s literature. Scholarship has increasingly become invested in examining and interrogating the ways the institution of children’s literature defines and practices diversity. This panel will specifically investigate how visual elements in children’s literature have been utilized in such definitions and practices. Papers may examine how visual-verbal narratives such as picturebooks, comics, graphic novels, photographic books, cartoons, and animated films define, approach, promote, conceal and/or ignore diversity; how tensions between visual and verbal modes create possibilities and problems in representing minority groups; how children’s literature has attempted to make the marginalized and “invisible” visible; and how texts appropriate, complicate and/or repudiate visual caricatures of minority groups.
