Rethinking Childhood

Rethinking Childhood is a Social Science tutorial taught by Rachel Conrad.

Course Description
In this course, we will examine recent work on ?rethinking childhood? in the interdisciplinary field of childhood studies alongside approaches to studying children and childhood in the fields of sociology of childhood, developmental psychology, and sociocultural psychology. We will also think about how to gain access to children?s perspectives on themselves and their lives and worlds. Students will read primary texts, complete frequent writing assignments, and explore ideas through creative forms. Assignments will also include group projects and observations of children outside of class time. This course is particularly appropriate for students with previous experience working with children.
