The Childhood and Youth Studies (CYS) department at King's focuses on the often-overlooked subject of childhood from an interdisciplinary perspective. Thus, we look at childhood from sociological, anthropological, historical, and geographical perspectives. We discuss issues such as child competencies, questions about our understandings of childhood, and an exploration of the changing status of children and childhood in Canada and internationally. We take a critical view of the social institutions around childhood, such as the home, schools, and the legal system. Issues of children as advocates, children’s rights, and children’s agency feature prominently in our courses. Students will deepen their knowledge in the subject area and will gain skills in critical thinking and social and historical analysis, as well as understanding how childhood is experienced by children.
