Course description

Children's stories are powerful indicators of a culture's values and priorities, and their messages deserve deep analysis on several levels. This course serves as an introduction to critical theory as we explore classic books for young people with a particular focus on female protagonists and their portrayal over time. We will explore theories of child development, critical literacy, feminism, and semiotics as we ask how these works both shape and are shaped by their creators, their audience, their culture, and their time.
