ANTHR 6443
Anthropology of Children

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Our children re-create culture and society as they grow up and take charge of the world. But how does this actually happen? What are the implications? In this course we look at children's creative engagement through the lens of anthropology, also borrowing from psychology, history, etc. We will pay special attention to how children learn, play, make-believe, and how they co-construct their own languages, cultures and societies. We draw on ethnographic studies of children, theories of childhood, as well as research on disadvantaged or excluded children, and, how the consequences can help us understand what "normal" children do.

When Offered Fall.
