Dear Colleagues,

this email is to inform you that on September 18 and 19 the conference *Comics,
the Children and Childishness
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.comics.ugent.be/comics-conference/__;!!KGKeukY!ybbOf2AAXfbzMesBg--IGMftFzd6jIK2YTxAXFrR9WWufnH9UW0oJyS6nINcfnGlIbiEpeph2FvRHwoYFN5XEKg9yDPtJSjjFqYOx45U$ >*, organized by Ghent
University, will take place. The conference will be held in presence (no
hybrid mode is planned), at KASK <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://schoolofartsgent.be/en/__;!!KGKeukY!ybbOf2AAXfbzMesBg--IGMftFzd6jIK2YTxAXFrR9WWufnH9UW0oJyS6nINcfnGlIbiEpeph2FvRHwoYFN5XEKg9yDPtJSjjFt7UZr7j$ >, in
Ghent, Belgium.

The conference is one of the culminating outputs of the ERC project *Children
in Comics: An Intercultural History (1865-) <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.comics.ugent.be/__;!!KGKeukY!ybbOf2AAXfbzMesBg--IGMftFzd6jIK2YTxAXFrR9WWufnH9UW0oJyS6nINcfnGlIbiEpeph2FvRHwoYFN5XEKg9yDPtJSjjFllzSzuh$ >*,
led by Prof. Maaheen Ahmed at Ghent University. The project aims to
reconstruct a cultural history of European comics, particularly focusing on
comics from Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Italy.

The conference aims to further deepen the interests and achievements of the
ERC project, with the goal of opening a crucial forum for dialogue between
European and international researchers, focusing on a distinctly
international corpus, covering comics not only from the dominant areas of
Western Europe and North America, but also from Central, Eastern and
Southeastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. In this way, the conference
aims to inspire further research in this neglected but crucial aspect of
comics studies. You can find the program here
