Foregrounding interdisciplinarity, CCMTS welcomes papers employing any

Western and Oriental attitudes and practices about children are
especially welcome to offer a point of contrast.**
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
---------------------------------------------------------
Parents and children
Incest, child abuse, sexual initiation, and education of children
Fosterage and abandonment
Generation conflict
Perceptions of children
Children as leaders of adults
Children on crusade
** Aspects about Tudor children may also be of interest to the conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Prof. Peter G. Beidler (Lehigh University, US) has offered to lead a
pre/post-conference walking tour to Harbledown ("Bobbe-up-and-down",
under the Blean forest), to pick up the trail that Chaucer's pilgrims
may well have followed to the West Gate and the Cathedral. They will
pass the spring where the Black Prince is said to have visited often.
