: How do we study childhood and youth from a sociological perspective? Provide your answer explaining the sociological imagination and differentiate how sociologists study children and youth as socially constructed and in comparison to other fields. What does it mean to say childhood and youth are socially constructed and intersectional? How do sociological theorists consider the self and identity formed in childhood as a socially reflexive process and how can we understand cumulative inequalities experienced by children as both structural and interactional? Provide wellsupported arguments, examples, and applications for each part of this question.
