"Children and Youth as ‘Sites of Resistance’ in Armed Conflict"
Submission Deadline: 15 February 2024 (Full Papers)
During the chaos and devastation of armed conflict, children and youth often emerge as powerful agents of change and resilience. “Children and Youth as ‘Sites of Resistance’ in Armed Conflict” is a compelling exploration of their profound roles as active participants, often functioning as sites of resistance within the complex dynamics of warfare. This title delves deep into the lived experiences of children and youth in conflict zones, shedding light on their diverse forms of resistance, agency, and resilience. It transcends conventional narratives that portray them solely as victims, offering a fresh perspective on their capacities to challenge and transform their circumstances. This title will be a compilation of articles providing insights into the global dimensions of children and youth in armed conflict, drawing from case studies and experiences across regions and contexts. It highlights the interconnectedness of youth-led resistance movements and their impact on global discourse and policy.
It is crucial to examine how children and youth are catalysts for peace and justice in conflict and post-conflict settings. The book examines their contributions to reconciliation, community rebuilding, and efforts to address the root causes of conflict. The aim is to include intersections of age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic factors in the experiences of children and youth in conflict zones. We welcome contributions from scholars at all career stages and from all parts of the globe. Learn more.

Twentieth International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic & Social Sustainability
Hosted by University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal

Through examining the roles of these three stakeholders – civil society, government and business - the theme of sustainability innovation will be explored at the Twentieth International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. Innovations are needed that respect and nurture the ecological realities and planetary boundaries within which all sustainability initiatives take place. Innovation requires participation, with every agent (women, men, children, the elderly, families, villages, business and government) playing an active role in mitigating the impacts of human activity. Education, monitoring and assessment is essential at all levels and across all sectors if environmental policy and governance is to promote adaptations and improvements to our relationship with nature.
We welcome the submission of proposals at any time of the year. All presenters are also encouraged to submit their paper to the companion journal collection, the On Sustainability Journal Collection. Find more about the journal.
