CHILDHOOD IN CULTURE, SOCIETY AND PUBLIC POLICY
This course examines childhood and youth as they are structured by social institutional contexts such as citizenship, labor policies and practices, schools, and disciplinary institutions. Historical, ethnographic, discursive, and structural approaches are used to explore how childhood is produced and contested through a diverse set of cultural, social, and political systems.
