WGSS 344 - Critical Childhood Studies

Critical childhood studies uses theoretical, historical, and literary texts to explore the history and construction of childhood. Using a variety of representations of childhood, this course considers childhood as metaphor, and children, themselves, as agents of cultural production. Characterized by its intersections with such fields as gender studies, disability studies, race studies, queer studies, and animal studies, the field of critical childhood studies offers scholars a rich interpretive methodology to explore questions related to difference, power, affect, and subjectivity.
