Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
This course will be assessed through small group discussion, and an end of course quiz on the final day
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students will gain knowledge and understanding of key debates in relation to children, society and risk, childhood, children’s rights, citizenship, social harm; and an awareness of empirical and theoretical studies in this area of scholarship. Within the framework of child rights laws such as the UNCRC, students will develop a critical understanding of the complex relationship between the notions of protection, provision and participation rights of children.
Examination topics
The course will be taught via a range of methods including didactic teaching, small group exercises, and seminar discussion. In the lectures, the key ideas and arguments in relation to each given topic will be presented. Small group exercises, and seminar discussions are designed to deepen your knowledge of the topic under consideration, to give you the chance to develop your own ideas and to engage with the ideas of your classmates. Seminars are also an opportunity for you to clarify any problems you have encountered with the lecture material or with the readings
