LST 518 - The Construction of Childhood: Cultural, Developmental, and Artistic

This course focuses on the tenets, arguments, and tensions of the new interdisciplinary field of Childhood Studies by examining research in psychology, sociology/anthropology, art history, literary and media studies, as well as education. How has the child been represented historically? What normative function do stage theories like those of Piaget and Erickson serve? How do nationality, ethnicity, social class, and gender inflect childhood? What can we learn from artistic and literary representations of the child?
