Annual Conference

Each year, the Society for the Study of Childhood in the Past (SSCIP) holds a conference hosted by a member of the Society. The conference offers an annual opportunity for international members of the Society to meet up. It is run in different countries around the world, alternating each year between a European based location, and one further afield.

The 14th Annual SSCIP Conference will be hosted by Daniel Justel Vicente, University of Alcalá, on the 8th-10th November 2022 in a hybrid format. Abstract submission is now open, and the deadline for submissions is 15th July 2022. Further information can be found in our latest news post.
