NB: Most of the curriculum is in the book by Hugh Cunningham (see the secondary literature list below) and the two compendia which the students will need to purchase at the Akademika Bookstoore at the main campus: “IDE2053 Del 1 av 2: Hva er et barn? Barndommens idéhistorie, komp. I, prim?rkilder” (ISBN 9028220099131) and “IDE2053 Hva er et barn? Barndommens historie, komp. II, sekund?rlitteratur” (ISBN9028220098912).
The texts marked with * are to be found in the printed compendia.
The texts marked with + are available online.
Many of the texts that are not printed in the compendia or available online will be distributed to the students or uploaded in Fronter.
Most of the curriculum is also available in Norwegian (see below).
The total amount of the curriculum is about 900-1000 pages.
