Canons of Children's Literature

March 15, 2008
Maude Fife Room, 315 Wheeler Hall
University of California at Berkeley
Panels are free and open to the public

Keynote speaker: Paula Fass, Department of History, UC Berkeley

The UC Berkeley Children's Literature Working Group presents a one-day conference on the intersections between children's literature and notions of the canon. The conference will address such topics as how canons are defined within children's literature; how children's literature operates within national, transnational, and postcolonial canons; and how traditional notions of canonicity are being reshaped through children's literature in new media.

Sponsored by the Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities and the Center for British Studies.
