Funded Activity Summary

The Charitable Child: Children and Philanthropy in the Nineteenth Century. This project reconceptualises the relationship between children and philanthropic institutions in the nineteenth century by researching the role of children as active supporters of philanthropic enterprises. Despite numerous charitable campaigns in the British and colonial periodical press aimed at children, little has been done to explore how and why children became sympathetic towards others. This project will explore how children operated as agents of philanthropy within imperial, missionary and national confines and will focus on the implications of race and gender in the development of charitable activities.
