Overview of class

This course aims to frame current debates about childhood and children\'s media and technology use within larger contexts. Students will examine children\'s culture from a variety of perspectives, including developmental psychology, education and economics. We will also critically engage with examples of books, videos, toys, and digital media products aimed at children. Our goal is to gain insights into the nature of children\'s lives, their culture, their relationship to the media, and the impact that media and technology use has in children\'s lives.
