Education Studies 311F - Youth and Cultural Reproduction

Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

The notion of youth as a lifespan period has grown in salience and pervasiveness in the world. This course explores three major aspects of social scientists' attention to youth: as a category to probe intersections among culture, aesthetics, and class in post-industrial societies; as a means for imagining the relationship between colonial and post-colonial forms of governance; and as a means for tracing the flows of capital among nation-states. Youth thus provides us with a window into pressing concerns in late-twentieth and early-twenty-first century social science. Prerequisite, 100-level anthropology course or consent of instructor. (Same as Anthropology 311.) LaDousa.
