ANTHRO 374
Anthropology of Childhood
|
|
|
This course explores how children's lives are shaped by cultural, economic, and political forces and relations. Drawing upon a range of case studies and disciplinary perspectives it will consider how and why children emerge as sites of contestation and debate, and it will examine the various ways in which the category and experience of childhood unfold in different socio-historical contexts. The main objective of the course is to better understand the social construction of childhood and use the study of childhood as a privileged window for exploring the articulation of cultural, economic and political relations within the context of contemporary global society.
