Baha'i Chair Conference
On September 28–29, the Bahá’í Chair for World Peace will bring together nearly a dozen international speakers to discuss the development of the younger generation at a groundbreaking conference. “Learning Outside the Lines: Children and Youth in an Interconnected World” will focus on the different aspects of childhood and adolescence and will shine a light on the often neglected issues relating to youth.

The conference will feature a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on the historical aspects of childhood experience, including: a look at slave communities in nineteenth-century America; early America girlhood in the 18th and 19th centuries; changes in attitudes toward children; and childhood in the Arab renaissance. Leading up to the modern era and taking a global perspective, other topics include: the role of media in formulating childhood experience; childhood education disparities; the story of Asian immigrant girls in Japan and the United States; childhood adjustments; variety and stress; and problematic media use and technology addiction.
