<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">From its notoriety as home of the Vikings, to its current status as home of the happiest people in the world, Denmark is
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">famous for Hamlet, Søren Kierkegaard, Danish pastry, and leaders in architecture and design like Arne Jacobsen, Jørn Utsen, Georg Jensen, Bang & Olufsen, and Bjarne Ingels. But Denmark also has a long and solid
tradition of cultural production for young people—just think of Hans Christian Andersen, Tivoli Gardens and Legoland.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In this academically rigorous course on international cultural production for children, Denmark will serve as a case study for such, providing students with hands-on perspectives on international children’s literature,
librarianship, museums, and a view on how different cultures construct “childhood.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The course is hybrid, combining online course delivery with face-to-face class time in Denmark. Some questions this class will address include: What does it mean to be a child in other countries compared to the
United States, and as a result, what sorts of issues face professionals working in cultural production for young people—from museums and libraries, to media industries such as publishing and film? How do those issues compare to ones faced by professionals
in the United States? What is similar? What is different? What can <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">we learn from another culture, and how will our new knowledge translate into ideas for practice in the U.S.?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Tours and seminars in Denmark will include the Royal Library School, the International Animation Workshop, Rosinante Publishers and an independent children’s bookseller, visit to Helsingør (Hamlet’s castle)
and the ministry of culture, and tours of a selection of Danish children’s libraries. We will also visit Tivoli gardens, possibly take a ferry to Sweden, and visit several museums.
