Session title: Studies of Children and Childhood in Latin America from the Colonial Period to the Present
This panel is open to anthropological studies that bring knowledge about children in Latin America past and present. Recently, children studies have grown widely across the world. The social meaning of children and their participation in societies have been determined by contexts of colonialism, independent movements, revolutions and globalization, where gender, ethnicity and class have been crucial for the construction of what a baby, a girl or a boy is. This session looks for papers based on rigorous and long-term research that contributes to the understanding of children in Latin America through time, including aspects of interest to different areas of anthropology. This panel looks for good proposals from any field within anthropology that will contribute to analyze similarities and differences about understanding childhoods and children in different places and times.
