Overview

Offered through the Erasmus Mundus framework, you will study at leading institutions including Aarhus University and the University of Glasgow. The programme combines academic and practical approaches to literary and media texts, cultural entrepreneurship, and critical literacy. As a student you will engage with global research communities to analyse the production, dissemination, and reception of children's literature and media. You will explore interdisciplinary intersections across literature, education, media studies, and childhood studies. With a focus on diversity, multilingualism, and cross-cultural perspectives, students develop research competencies and cultural awareness.

Programme Structure

Programme content:

As a CLMC student, you will be part of an integrated, international, and coherent degree programme focusing on the history as well as literary and media theory of children’s and young adult literature and on critical methodologies for evaluating and critiquing the corpus of children’s and young adult literature and media texts.
You will learn to promote and develop cultural sensitivity through the analysis of multicultural texts, media, and artefacts, as well as through academic dialogue among a broad international cohort of students.
You will increase your critical understanding of contested concepts, theories, and debates about the promotion, role, and users of literary, media, and digital texts in professional and community contexts, including understanding the global market of books, media, and related artefacts for children.
