Faglig innhold

The course is an introduction to Childhood studies (social studies of children and childhood/childhood sociology); an interdisciplinary research field drawing upon influences from disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, social geography etc. The course offers perspectives on children and childhood with attention to both global and local understandings and perceptions of what constitutes childhood, with attention to the significance of historical, cultural, social and political realities. The aim of the course is to provide students with theoretical frameworks, concepts and analytical tools from Childhood studies that can enable them to problematize common assumptions and normative idea(l)s of childhood, exploring children and childhood in a historical and cultural frame. It addresses topics such as gender, ethnicity, class and age through studies of childhood experiences.
