Description:

While all children have a childhood, in the sense that they progress from birth toward adulthood, children within and across the borders of the United States have vastly different experiences of that period of life. This course explores variations in childhood around the world created by poverty, war, and the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, as well as by discrimination based on race, class, gender, and sexuality. This exploration includes reading research studies, as well as engaging in policy and practice projects in the local and state community. Recommended background: Relevant course work in psychology or sociology; community engagement experience. Enrollment limited to 15. (Diversity.) E. Kane, G. Nigro.
