The Children’s Studies program explores the experiences of children and adult constructions of childhood throughout time and across cultures, adopting a “childist” (child-centred) and children’s rights approach that recognizes children as subjects in their own culture. The program consists of core courses in humanities and additional child-related courses throughout the University. The program is a 120-credit, direct-entry, interdisciplinary Honours BA degree program, which also includes double major, major/minor and minor degree options.
