Faglig innhold

Framed by Social Studies of Children and Childhood (Sociology of childhood), the course addresses theoretical perspectives, key concepts and ongoing debates in Childhood studies. This includes children and childhood as socially, culturally and historically constructed, children's perspectives and active contribution in defining and giving meaning to their lives. Further, this course addresses children's lived lives, generational relations, and the importance of context as well as issues at a structural and political level that have implications for children and childhood. This course addresses childhood as a social phenomenon in time and space, and how children are both shaped by and themselves shape their childhood experiences as these unfold within diverse societal and daily life conditions, practices, power and generational relations. Central issues to be explored in this course are images and understandings of children and childhood as well as children's meaning-making processes, and experiences in relation to peer activities and the adult organization of their lives. The course further attends to the interrelations of childhood and culture, power, gender, social class, and ethnicity.
