Ringkasan program

This programme takes an anthropological perspective on what it is to be a child or to be young; its key organising principle is that understanding children requires the study of how their relations with others (peers, older and younger children, parents, teachers and other adults) inform their practices, identities and world views; this course focuses on the importance of children�s and youth�s perspectives, and on the role that education (formal and informal) plays in children�s learning processes and in the transmission and acquisition of cultural knowledge; through an examination of ethnographic cases from the around the world (including the UK), participants learn about the different ways in which childhood and youth are understood and conceptualised, along with the different educational forms and processes through which cultural knowledge is transmitted and acquired, and how culture impacts upon these processes.
