This is the home page for the NEER Research Cluster entitled Children in Europe and the Australian Colonies c.1300-1850.

The care and upbringing of children is a major concern in modern society but the long history of childhood has yet to move beyond the general to interrogate how different discursive, legal and social contexts shape the experiences of children and representations of childhood. The Children cluster aims to bring scholars from a variety of disciplinary perspectives into a sustained dialogue about the long history of childhood and gaps in the study of children's experiences in the European past.
