First they must be Children: The Child and the Caribbean Imagination -A
Cultural Studies Symposium
21st May, 2009
The Department of Liberal Arts at the UWI St Augustine Campus will host
a conference to investigate the old adage that children must be seen and
not heard. It points to an inherent ambivalence in the Caribbean’s
collective psyche about the place and role of children in a social order
which simultaneously recognises and silences their presence.
A call for papers-open/Abstracts are welcomed by December 15th 2008.
For more information on submission of abstracts and on the conference
please contact the Department of Liberal Arts at 662-2002 Ext. 2469 or
