Child and Youth Studies is an interdisciplinary research field focusing on children’s and young people’s agency, living condition, identity and participation in society

In Child and Youth Studies, practice-oriented research with and about children and young people is conducted in various social arenas. We have a broad focus on children’s and youth’s everyday life, cultures and perspectives, including inequality and socialization processes as central themes. The research is based on traditions within educational and social sciences and combine several disciplinary perspectives, related to issues as children’s and young people’s educational performance, school social work, transitions, mobility, health and well-being, history of sexuality, vulnerability, participation and civic engagement.

Seminars

Child and Youth Studies organizes a research seminar together with CLIP (Childhood, Learning, and Identities as Interactional Practices) where we meet every other Monday at 13-15.
