# Event Details - **Event Name**: Children and Childhoods Conference 2026 - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 15 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: We are excited to announce the seventh biennial Children and Childhoods Conference!About this EventBuilding on a successful legacy, the Children and Childhoods Conference theoretically and empirically engages with children’s lives, across disciplines, to reflect the diverse nature of contemporary childhoods. We continue to uphold our inclusive ethos and aim to bring together academics, pedagogues, practitioners, policymakers, early career and postgraduate researchers and students.DAY 1 Crime, Risk, Safeguarding and Social HarmDay One focuses on how children and young people encounter, navigate, and are shaped by systems of crime, justice, safeguarding, and social regulation.We welcome theoretical, empirical and practice-based contributions that critically engage with issues such as but not limited to: youth justice, safeguarding and protection, children’s rights, social harm, marginalisation, family and community contexts, lived experiences of adversity, risk and resilience, and professional or institutional responses.Interdisciplinary approaches especially those drawing from criminology, childhood and youth studies, social work, education, sociology, psychology, and law are strongly encouraged.DAY 2 Childhoods at CrossroadsDay Two contextualises childhoods on the edge in global perspectives of childhoods lived in an era of intensifying childhood poverty, political instability and rapid technological change.Prolonged stagnation in global economic development has contributed to rising unemployment and a widening cost-of-living crisis, both of which have intensified childhood poverty in many regions. International, regional and domestic political instability—together with outbreaks of violence—has directly and often lethally affected children and young people, inflicting lasting harm on their families, physical safety, and psychological well-being. At the same time, rapid technological change, including the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its varied local applications, is reshaping education and transforming future labour markets in ways that remain uncertain for decades to come. These economic, political, and technological forces, together with other forms of social harms, are deeply interconnected, placing contemporary childhoods at a critical and consequential crossroads.A more detailed agenda will be provided closer to the conference.Please be aware that if you would like to attend the Conference Dinner on Wednesday 15 July, your ticket must be booked by Thursday 2 July. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ipswich/children-and-childhoods-conference-2026/100001982191934435 - **Event Categories**: business, conferences, art, fine-arts, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours - Location: University of Suffolk - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35, max: 190, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Ipswich - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of Suffolk - **lat**: 52.0522152 - **long**: 1.1633401999999932 - **full address**: University of Suffolk, Waterfront Building, Ipswich, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Children and Childhoods Conference 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/bdae0d05a89d8fd9f5f4da7c270d5acf1472d5fdd42281d3bee9243ec1d63306-rimg-w1200-h803-dc90482f-gmir.jpg?v=1777385338 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Children and Childhoods Conference 2026 being held? - **A:** Children and Childhoods Conference 2026 takes place on Wed, 15 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 am to Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm at University of Suffolk, Waterfront Building, Ipswich, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Children and Childhoods Conference 2026? - **A:** Children and Childhoods Conference 2026 is organized by University of Suffolk. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
