Faglig innhold

The course is at the intersection of childhood studies, law, policy and research. It provides students with an overview of different declarations on and approaches to children's rights from a historical perspective, with a particular focus on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Furthermore, it engages with sociocultural understandings of what rights are and what they entail in diverse contexts. The course focuses on emerging issues on the rights of children in vulnerable situations, children's participation in social, cultural, political and digital spheres of society, the role of Non-Governmental Organizations in the implementation of children's rights, and assessments of national reports on children's rights. Through nuanced discussion, the course also provides students with knowledge about competing and more critical discourses and theorizations concerning children's rights.
