Call for Papers: for The Third Annual ChYRP International Conference on Children’s Rights 14-15 December 2026, Jerusalem
Proposal submission deadline: AUGUST 31st, 2026
Children today grow up in the shadow of futures they did not make. Armed conflicts, the climate crisis, and rapid technological transformation, including the rise of artificial intelligence and its implications for work, knowledge, and social life, generate profound uncertainty about what kind of world tomorrow will bring. These concerns shape children’s daily lives, their sense of safety, their aspirations, and their rights.
The conference is interdisciplinary, bringing together scholars from law, social work, sociology, psychology, public health, anthropology, education, criminology, and public policy. It engages these questions from diverse theoretical perspectives and through a wide range of methodological approaches.
Scholars are invited to submit proposals of the following types:
1) Individual Paper Presentation: Submissions should include an abstract of up to 350 words, title, keywords, academic CV, and contact information.
2) Panel: Submissions should include a panel title and general description of up to 350 words, the name of the panel chair/discussant, panel keywords, an abstract for each paper (350 words each, 3-4 papers), short bios, and the contact information of all participants.
3) Author Meets Readers Roundtable: Submissions should include the title, the name of the roundtable chair, an abstract describing the book(s) to be discussed (350 words), the names of 1-3 discussants, short bios, and the contact information of all participants, including the author.
Proposals should be submitted via email by 31 AUGUST 2026 to chyrp@mail.huji.ac.il.
Applicants should expect notification of the committee’s decision in September 2026.
