Children’s Literature

---

Type:
Major, Sub-Major, Minor

Location:
Magill, Mawson Lakes, External

Children's Literature aims to acquaint students with a representative sample of literary materials for children and to equip them with the skills to judge those materials. Children’s Literature is a site for the analysis of social and cultural factors in literature, while children’s narrative helps shape the ways in which children conceptualise the world. Equally, the major is a study of literature, with its traditional values and humanistic approach, and can be analysed as such.
