Is childhood intensifying, or eroding? This will be the guiding question of the 2026 edition of the Child & Teen Consumption conference, which will be held from 22 to 24 April at King’s College London.

We invite all disciplines to contribute historical and contemporary reflections on the following themes: agency in the digital economy; sustainability and the climate crisis; and the changing institutions of childhood.

The deadline for submissions is 22 August 2025. More information is available on the conference website: https://ctcc-2026.kcl.ac.uk/
