Bachelor of Arts in Childhood and Youth Studies (Honours)

The Childhood and Youth Studies program at Carleton, with its focus on youth as well as childhood, and its attention to critical intersectionality as well as children?s rights and youth activism, is the only program of its kind in Eastern Ontario. The newly updated program is designed to address the sustained growth of student demand over the last five years and reflect current trends in research about and with children and young people.It is a relatively new interdisciplinary field that spans multiple epistemologies and methodologies, and it is one of the most active and rapidly growing fields in academia today. Critical childhood and youth studies represents a departure from traditional psychological and educational research ?on? children, which limits the agency, voice, and participation of young people. Contemporary critical childhood and youth scholars believe that children themselves are the best informants of their own lives and therefore look at children?s own cultures, meanings and the ways in which they attempt to change their lives and the lives of adults around them. Childhood and Youth Studies courses are designed to be engaging and to reflect our world and society today, providing a holistic context that students will take with them into their future endeavors. In order to prepare graduates for a wide range of careers, the program focuses on skills in critical thinking, reading, and writing, social and historical analysis, and research.
