Course Summary

This innovative MA in Childhood Studies offers a unique sociological focus seeking to understand the lives of children and young people in different social, cultural, participatory and geographical contexts. Drawing on the new social studies of childhood and youth, the course enables you to develop a holistic understanding of children and young people and their everyday lives. Modules have been developed using the theory and history of childhood studies, the practice and research experience of staff who teach on the course and the latest research in the field. Compulsory modules will give you a sound knowledge of concepts and approaches in the study of childhood, and you’ll also choose optional modules to suit your interests and career aspirations. Research Insight MA Childhood Studies is taught in collaboration with the Inclusion, Childhood and Youth Research Centre, bringing together researchers from across the University who have an interest in research with children and young people. We have a particular focus on participatory research methods with children and young people, which underpins all areas of our research and teaching.

Modules

Child poverty and well-being (30 Credits) - Core

This module will introduce you to the concepts of child poverty and child well-being. Child poverty and well-being will be examined in national and international perspectives. You will explore different, and sometimes competing, theories around what child poverty is and why some children experience poverty while others do not. The importance of theories in determining how poverty is conceptualised, measured, and addressed through policy will be covered. You will investigate the links between child poverty and child well-being, and how the inclusion of children?s perspectives in how we define and measure both concepts can help to further our understanding of these links. You will critically engage with literature from academic, policy, and civil society sources, and develop an understanding of how different theories and measures of poverty and well-being inform the thinking and agendas of these different actors.
