The Child in Society

This subseries contains audio cassettes and textual records related to the Open College course: The Child and Society - A history of childhood and child welfare. (course code: COCR 923)
The course was developed as a professionally required course for a new part-time degree program, Child and Youth Care, inaugurated in 1990 and housed in Ryerson's Faculty of Community Services, School of Child and Youth Care. The course was developed by historian Desmond Glynn and based on extensive research into the records of the Ministry of Community Services, annual conference papers of the Ontario Children's Aid Society, and the historical collection of MA theses held by the School of Social Work, University of Toronto.

Textual records include transcriptions of source interviews used in the finished radio-based course. Audio cassettes in this file include finished production tapes of the actual broadcasted class and source interview audio cassettes..
