Course summary
Overview
This innovative MA in Childhood Studies offers a unique sociological focus seeking to understand the lives of children and young people in different social, cultural, participatory and geographical contexts. Drawing on the new social studies of childhood and youth, the course enables you to develop a holistic understanding of children and young people and their everyday lives.
Modules have been developed using the theory and history of Childhood Studies, the practice and research experience of staff who teach on the course and the latest research in the field. Core modules will give you a sound knowledge of concepts and approaches in the study of childhood, but you鈥檒l also be able to choose optional modules to suit your interests and career aspirations.
