Overview
The 2025 Children’s Literature Summer School is devoted to diversity and inclusion in children’s literature. These central themes are explored from multiple perspectives, incorporating key insights from fields like critical race studies, age studies, queer and gender studies, as well as translation studies. We place a strong emphasis on intersectionality, delving into how literary and artistic forms engage with topics of diversity and inclusion. Students not only attend dynamic lectures but also participate in interactive workshops and two excursions. The international diversity of our students is viewed as a valuable resource, enriching the classroom experience.
Learning outcomes:
- An understanding of (new) research methods for studying children’s literature, such as digital humanities and participatory research.
- Knowledge of the terms and theoretical perspectives on children’s literature studies from age studies, cognitive studies, urban studies, and media studies, and the skills to apply these to a text for children.
- The skills to participate actively in a discussion on children’s literature. The skills to write a coherent academic paper on a topic related to theme the course.
