ANT 395-02 - Advanced Special Topic: Childhood and Archaelolgy

4 credits (Spring)

Like gender, childhood is a social construct, not a biological or psychological constant, and the nature of childhood has varied considerably across both time and space. The class will examine archaeologists’ efforts to understand the nature of past childhoods. In addition, to reading and discussing the relevant literature, students will complete several short analysis exercises and a culminating project.
