We are pleased to announce our plans for the ‘new epoch’ for
this blog. Within a couple of months it will re-emerge with a new title as
“Reading Changes:
Literacy and Literature for Children and Young Adults”
The aim is for it to become a space for exchanging knowledge on issues of
children's and Young Adult literature or on the literacy practices of children
and young people through the publication of a summary and findings of Master’s
dissertations or PhD thesis from any country around the world on these topics.
In this way, we can continue the conversation we have been
having in the last two years. We believe these shared spaces are even more important
now for increasing collaboration among people across nations and continents,
for building bridges between researchers and teachers and creating connections
that encourage an engagement with texts that is pleasurable and creatively
stimulating but that also leads to a better understanding of human beings
through literature and reading.
If you are interested in writing an entry, please see the detailed
requirements below.
We would also like to take this opportunity to invite
readers who have previously visited this blog to contact us with any comments
about the entries of the previous two years, about any suggestions and in
particular, about any ways in which the information disseminated through this
blog has had an impact on your thinking, reading, researching or teaching. We
would be very interested in knowing who you are and hearing about your reasons
for visiting us so many times (please email evelyn.arizpe@glasgow.ac.uk).
Thank you in advance.
We hope you will continue to join us as readers or perhaps collaborators
on this exciting new adventure which will begin at the end of October 2016.
