We examine the Anthropological approaches to the study of children and childhood. Research and teaching in looks at childhood where it is examined as a social and historical construction, and children are analyzed as active contributors to their social worlds. Students are encouraged to analyse cross-cultural ethnographic material relating to children and how youth is critically read and discussed.
