CHILDHOOD & YOUTH

Childhood & Youth is an engaging, multidisciplinary field. You will explore various issues and challenges children and young people face today, both in the UK and around the world. This degree draws on sociology, politics, history, social policy, and cultural studies. It examines key questions about children, young people, and their social contexts.

Topics include:  

- How children's roles in society have changed

- How social class, poverty, gender, ethnicity, and disability shape their lives

You will also study the role of risk in children's everyday experiences and how they shape their social worlds. You will also learn research methods. These methods help children and young people face their challenges.
