Description

The interdisciplinary field of childhood studies offers much scholarship to pursue themes and topics from the perspectives of the visual arts (paintings, prints, decorative arts, photographs and film) and the law (ancient and Western law, international children???s rights, and social justice issues). Topics to be considered include the changing conceptions of childhood, abandonment and infant care, child health and education, child labor, war-affected children, juvenile justice, child discipline and child abuse, and multiple childhoods. Field trips, films, and guest lectures enhance the course readings and class discussions. During the second semester students will explore a childhood issue in-depth with a presentation and paper combining themes of art and justice. Core: Social Sciences requirement. Pre-Requisite: By Invitation Only.
