Anthropology of Childhood, Youth and Education (Taught) | Master's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 1 year | Brunel University London | United Kingdom

The Anthropology of Childhood, Youth and Education MSc was the first degree of its kind in the world when it was established and is still unique in its thoroughgoing 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.The distinctiveness of this degree derives from an Anthropological approach that 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.
