Education (Children and Young People) (MA)

Course Description

The MA Education (Children and Young People) is an exciting and innovative course which offers inter-disciplinary perspectives and understandings of children and young people across different contexts, both national and international. The cross discipline expertise within the team spans extensive professional practice in the arenas of social care, youth justice, and education, together with international research expertise which includes studies of childhood in Mexico and Romania. At the core of this course is a belief in children and young people as agents of change and subjects of their own rights. As such, it combines challenging perspectives with theoretical concepts to encourage you to critically explore understandings of children and young people in the context of practise, policy and academic research. It aims to foster and extend inter-disciplinary working as well as develop critical skills in research. Childhood and Youth is a relatively new and vibrant academic discipline, reflected in the range of core and optional courses, which encompass some of the key developments in this exciting field. - See more at: http://www.hope.ac.uk/postgraduate/postgraduatecourses/educationchildrenandyoungpeoplema/title,4073,en.html#sthash.8kMi7OpK.dpuf
