| Programme description | MPhil in Childhood Studies at the Norwegian Centre for Child Research (NOSEB) offers an advanced education within the interdisciplinary social studies of children and childhood. The aim of the programme is to generate knowledge about childhood and children's life-worlds in changing societies. ; The master's programme is theoretically and methodologically related to the new social studies of childhood. A child perspective represents a main integrative approach. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) represents an important point of departure for discussing children as social participants in society. CRC can be seen as part of globalization processes, producing particular images of what it means to be a child. An important task is to create comprehensive insights in and understanding of how the globalized conditions under which children grow up affect 'local' and 'national' childhoods, and the ways in which children themselves explore and experience their everyday lives and childhoods. |
