<p>****************************************************************
<p>Rutgers University Press is about to undertake a new series in childhood
studies. As the editor, I am looking for manuscripts or proposals
for possible publication in the series.
<p>The purpose of this series is to increase understanding of children
and childhood experiences in the United States and abroad. The series will
reflect the new view of children and approaches to the study of childhood.
Scholars are beginning to study the way that children help shape culture
rather than simply reflecting culture. Authors will come from a variety
of fields including anthropology, criminal justice, history, literature,
psychology, religion, and sociology. Books will be addressed not only to
a scholarly audience, but also to those directly responsible for ministering
to children’s needs and formulating policies affecting their lives and
futures. The Press expects to publish 3-4 titles annually and is actively
seeking new projects.
<p>I am also the Director of the Rutgers University Center of Children
and Childhood Studies. The Center supports research and scholarship focusing
on the lives and experiences of children around the world and develops,
evaluates, and advances service and outreach programs designed to benefit
children, as well as preparing students for careers that affect the lives
of children.
<p>The advisory board for the series includes Enid Schildkraut, head of
the department of anthropology and curator for Africa at the American Museum
of Natural History, Jill Korbin, professor of anthropology and co-director
of the Schubert Center for Child Development at Case Western Reserve University,
Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Stephen H. Weis Presidential Fellow and professor
of Human Development at Cornell University, and Perri Klass, assistant
professor of pediatrics at the Boston University School of Medicine and
medical director of the Reach Out and Read National Center.
<p>Founded in 1936, Rutgers University Press is a non-profit academic publishing
house operating under the auspices of Rutgers, the State University of
New Jersey. The Press publishes titles in African American studies, anthropology,
art, cultural studies, economics, environmental studies, film, gay and
lesbian studies, health, history, humor, literature, medicine, New Jersey
and regional studies, political science, psychology, religion, sociology,
science, and women's studies.
<p>Rutgers University Press has a distinguished collection of books on
childhood:
<ul>
<li>
Patricia Adler and Peter Adler, Peer Power: Preadolescent Culture
and Identity</li>
