EDLF 5711 - Globalization, Childhood, and Culture


Effective Start Date: 03/01/2009
Cultural contexts are powerful influences on child development and learning and have long been recognized as shaping the very notion of what a child is across time and place. This course considers contemporary sociological and anthropological efforts to rethink notions of child development, learning, parenting, risk, etc. to recognize both the impact of cultural differences and to recognize the cultural agency of children. Globalization has become a major influence on children and childhood as well and the course will also examine this phenomenon in the light of issues concerning culture and children’s welfare. The course is designed to stimulate students’ critical thinking about culture and its role in raising and educating children.
