This course will provide a deep understanding and knowledge of children's rights and the lived realities of children's diverse experiences. You will explore ideologies and examine how today's society impacts children to help discover ways to change their experiences for the better.The course is aimed at those from any undergraduate background with an interest or specialist need to advance their knowledge in Childhood and Early Years. This MA provides a robust theoretical framework enabling you to develop an integrated understanding of study in this area. Whether you are a lawyer working with children, an architect designing a children's space - this course covers a variety of internal and external factors that affect children from political and social contexts to how children use media and culture.Our interdisciplinary course has a strong emphasis on social sciences and humanities and includes perspectives drawn from sociology, developmental psychology, social policy, geography, cultural studies, literature and anthropology.
