Putting the Figure on the Map: Imagining Sameness and
Different for Children
September 11-13, the Cotsen Children’s Library at Princeton
University will host the conference “Putting the Figure on the Map: Imagining
Sameness and Difference for Children.”
This interdisciplinary program co-organized by Emer
O’Sullivan and Andrea Immel will draw on the approaches in imagology, history,
anthropology, psychology, and literary criticism. It will focus on modes of
expression arising within or without the classroom that either target children
or appropriate discourses for them that create competing, complimentary, or
contradictory images of foreign nations and their peoples. The program
will also feature a workshop featuring primary resources from the Cotsen collection.
Registration is free
to Princeton University students, faculty and staff; $25 for all others. You may register online at the conference
