Happy Wednesday! Today one of our past PhD candidates Dr Sarah Hardstaff shares her lockdown reading with us “On lockdown with a 2 year old, we've been reading lots of picturebooks, poring over details in the pictures and acting out scenes around the house.” [Image shows knitted elephant wearing a red hat, having a stand off with a stegasaurus, a scene inspired by Jon Klassen's hilarious I Want My Hat Back.] #ChildrensLiterature #YALit #Picturebooks #CRCLC #UniversityOfCambridge #Bookstagram

We're excited to announce another virtual Open Research Seminar for Easter Term! Wednesday May 27 at 17.00 - 18.30 BST we will be pleased to welcome Peter C. Kunze, who will be presenting his talk "Why Belle Loves Books: Industrial Approaches to Studying Children's Culture". A visiting assistant professor in film studies at Eckerd College, Prof. Kunze will be discussing the complexity of authorship in Disney's Beauty and the Beast in order to demonstrate how an awareness of media industry practices and operations can enrich the study of literary culture. Those wishing to join us are invited to email CRCLC Director Professor Karen Coats for the Meeting ID and Password. #childrensliterature #yalit #bellelovesbooks #childrensculture #research #seminar #crclc #universityofcambridge

It’s Wednesday (just a little reminder for those of us that need it 😜) and what better way to get some inspiration for this week’s reading than hearing from one of our former MPhil students @jodie.rose.7 “Currently reading: A few proofs from my new job as a Bookseller at Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights! A mix of magical wishes, self-aware AI and beastly creatures. What more could you ask for?” Sounds perfect to us! 📚 what are you reading? #childrensliterature #yalit #picturebook #crclc #whatareyoureading #bookstagram #shelfie #universityofcambridge

Yesterday we held our Open Research Seminar with with Prof. Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak! Thank you to Justyna for sharing your research to us and thank you to the 30+ participants who joined us from the UK, Ireland, the US, China, Saudi Arabia, and Hong Kong! #childrensliterature #posthuman #nature #crclc #OpenResearchSeminar #research #universityofcambridge

Our Open Research Seminars are back up and running online for Easter Term! We are excited to announce the details of this week's seminar on Wednesday 6th May at 5pm (GMT) with Professor Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak: "Two Years Later: Developing a Relational Researcher Subjectivity in Children’s Literature Studies". In her talk, Prof. Deszcz-Tryhubczak will explore the implications of posthumanist thought for the subjectivity of a children’s literature scholar wishing to apply new materialist frameworks to her research with, and not just about, children and texts. Those wishing to join us are invited to email CRCLC Director Professor Karen Coats for the Meeting ID and Password. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Getting ready for the weekend and today @madisonmcnuage shares her tbr choices! “These aren’t exactly recommendations as I haven’t read all of them yet but they’re all part of my fantasy London-based corpus. I can’t wait to dig in to these new (second hand but new to me!) novels! Anyone else have a huge stack of books waiting to be read? However, this time is difficult for everyone and being an international student far away from my family and living alone I’ve found this time difficult too. But as always fantasy novels are my happy place so I’m re-reading all off Tamora Pierce’s novels for fun at the moment. Returning to her novels and her fantasy worlds feels like coming home to me. What do you re-read for comfort?” 📚📚 what are you reading? #childrensliterature #yalit #picturebooks #manga #graphicnovel #crclc #bookstagram #shelfie #universityofcambridge
