This course examines the dark realities behind your favorite children's stories

Uncommon Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation U.S. highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching. Title of course: “Children’s Literature”What prompted the idea for the course? The idea came from a book I bought at a used book sale.

Key Points:

Uncommon Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation U.S. highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching.

Title of course:

What prompted the idea for the course?

The idea came from a book I bought at a used book sale.
It was Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” but it wasn’t the version I expected.
I brought them over from Africa myself – the whole tribe of them, three thousand in all.

What does the course explore?

The course also explores how cultural biases shape people’s assumptions about what books are appropriate for children.
We examine the ways race, gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity and age show up in children’s stories.
But as we read the course texts, it becomes clear just how varied childhood is and has been.

Why is this course relevant now?

In the course we discuss the history of censorship.
However, once realism in literature became popular in the 19th century, censors tried to protect children from the harsh reality of societal ills.

What’s a critical lesson from the course?

What materials does the course feature?

• Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” – one of the earliest novels written expressly for children.
• Pamela Brown’s “The Swish of the Curtain” follows a group of kids who realize their dream of performing on stage.

What will the course prepare students to do?

My hope is that students will begin to look at children’s books in a more critical way.
My course is meant to get students to look at children’s books not just as sources of entertainment or enjoyment, but to better understand how those books are shaped by – and help shape – the cultural norms of the society in which we live.
