Faglig innhold

The course is at the intersection of sociology, law, policy and research. It provides students with an overview of different declarations on and approaches to children's rights from a historical perspective. Furthermore, it engages with sociological understandings of what rights are and what they entail in diverse contexts. Among topics to be addressed are emerging issues on the rights of children in vulnerable situations, children as social participants in the economic, social and cultural reproduction of society, the role of Non-Governmental Organizations in the implementation of children's rights and assessments of national reports on children's rights. Through nuanced discussion, the course also provides students with knowledge about competing and more critical discourses and theorizations concerning children's rights.
