The conference offers an interdisciplinary forum for dialogue and

youth. We warmly invite all researchers who are interested in the
research on children, childhood, youth and their growing
environments.

The main objective of the conference is to discuss themes related to
social care vs. social control of children and young people. We
welcome abstracts for workshop presentations and for poster
presentations. 

Suggested themes may include for example following themes:
- Children, youth and institutional social control
- Care vs. control continuum in the professional practices with
children and youth 
- History of care vs. control of children
- The present practices of concern and early intervention
- Diagnosis – care or control?

address the following:

- whether the abstract is for a paper or a poster presentation
- if you require any additional audiovisual equipment other than a
computer and data projector

workshop.)
- if you would like to receive comments on your presentation by one
of the foreign visitors of the conference: professor Nigel Parton,
