About the course
Aim
After completing the course the student should be able to, on an advanced level:
- critically analyze and reflect on the development of children’s rights as an interdisciplinary research field
- account for children’s right in (ämnesområdet) social work
- discuss and assess choices of theory and methods and their consequences, in previous research on children’s rights
- reflect over and discuss political and ethical dimensions of children’s rights in research and practice
- critically reflect over challenges and possibilities for the realization of children’s rights in a globalized world
Content
The course deals with children’s rights in social work and research on welfare law, with a particular focus on methodologies in the study of children’s human rights. In order to do so, the course deals with theoretical perspectives of children and childhood that deal with children’s position(-s) in society and children as rights holders. Furthermore, the course includes problematizations of concepts such as equaliberty, discrimination, social rights, rule of law, rights to protection and participation, and the best interest of the child. The course also includes studies of practice-oriented work to realize children’s rights in various settings.
