Education and Child Study 331 - Seminar: The Stories Children Tell

This course will focus on examining children’s social and moral development through the use of narrative methodology. We will examine how the uses of cultural tools such as narratives and social media allow us investigate how contexts, such as schools and youth organizations, influence children’s understanding of and response to (in)justice. In particular, we will focus on the role of teachers and peers as agents of socialization by examining children’s stories about their experiences in classrooms. Enrollment limited to 15. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.
