Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
This course offers students the opportunity to learn how children’s literature, as text and art, has been used to teach youth throughout history; how it has been appropriated by societies; and how children’s authors and illustrators have become authors of the culture of their times. The course embodies elements of traditional literary analysis where students will study historical trends, literary and artistic devices, cultural ideologies, and elements of text quality present in multicultural children’s literature.
