childhood, from birth to adolescence. It draws on many disciplines,
including anthropology, psychology, sociology, criminal justice,
English, history, religion, economics, and biology. Presentation of the
field of childhood studies is designed to provide instruction and
information to everyone interested in children and childhood, including
those directly responsible for ministering to children's needs and
those formulating policies affecting their lives and futures. The
lectures and the readings have been designed to foster thinking not
only about research in the field, but also about the applied, policy,
and clinical implications of the research, in order to make informed
decisions concerning children and youth. Note: This course is
reading and writing intensive. Be prepared for weekly reading
