The Case of the Slave-Child, Med is a brief yet comprehensive history in which Weierman challenges us to develop more robust accountings of post-emancipation life for formerly enslaved children. At every turn, Weierman considers how extant archival traces of Med are shaped by the understandings, perceptions, and formulations of the white abolitionists, enslavers, lawyers, and jurists who battled over her bondage and freedom. As such, Weierman encourages us to approach archival sources with a careful, critical eye.

Abstract:In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, children were susceptible to deadly infectious diseases. An increasing focus on the health of children led to the opening of fever hospitals, lock hospitals, sanatoria, and convalescent homes. This paper addresses the impact of infectious diseases on children in Scotland: their proximity to death, their experiences of medical treatment in hospital, the hospital regimes, and their separation from families. It will show how advances in sanitation, housing, medicine, and medical practice led to the demise of these types of hospital settings in the second half of the twentieth century, providing thought-provoking context to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:British growth and development expert James Mourilyan Tanner was a central figure in the twentieth century in measuring and treating children considered shorter than optimal for a satisfactory life. This paper contends that his well-known and extensive studies and charts of children's growth were colored by his continuing interest in body classification systems and athlete development. Influenced by his prowess as an Olympic hurdler and practical involvement with the somatotyping studies of William Sheldon and Margaret Mead, we suggest that Tanner's interest in physique may have prompted his early involvement in promoting human growth hormone for small, non-athletic children.

Abstract:The World War II diary of Julian Kulski, first published in 1979 and reissued in 2014 as The Color of Courage: A Boy at War: The World War II Diary of Julian Kulski, is one of few English-language primary accounts of the German occupation of Warsaw. Kulski's record merits investigation both as a historical record and as a literary and cultural document that gives voice to the children and teenagers who participated in the Polish resistance. This article considers the ways in which Kulski's agency converges with and diverges from that of the adults around him as he participates in and even leads individual and communal acts of resistance to the German occupation of Poland. Kulski's account helps illuminate a larger understanding of child soldiers as well as the revolutionary potential of children's engagement in the political process, even—or perhaps especially—under the extreme circumstances that Kulski faced.
