Crossed views on early childhood

2024-2025 programme - Seminar series

- Addressing the issue of early childhood from a multidisciplinary, historical, anthropological and sociological perspective -

The seminar “Crossed views on early childhood" approaches the question of early childhood from the angle of a social, historical and cultural construct.

Theories and knowledge relating to the conception, birth and development of children are analyzed in terms of their interaction with the child's environment and gender norms. Against this backdrop, the seminar will explore the boundaries of this age category and address the question of its temporality according to medical, international, anthropological or historical standards.
