CSOC 646 - Ethics and Agency of Children and Youth

3 credits
Ethical questions relating to moral agency, theological anthropology, andcommunity obligation will be re-evaluated from the perspective of children and youth. Christian ethics has most often focused on adult subjects, thus missing critical insights about moral character and action. Similar to adults, children and youth engage current moral issues including the use of technology, , poverty, consumerism, sexuality, racism, and so on. This course asks how children exercise moral agency and grow in their moral capacity, as well as, how adults help or hinder child/youth development as they become capable, well-informed, and confident moral agents. While the course resources are multidisciplinary, the core methodologies and questions are situated in Christian social ethics.
