Introducing Lashon Daley's Critical Conversations in Children's Literature
Alum Lashon Daley presents Critical Conversations in Children’s Literature, a web series to bring together children’s literature authors and scholars to discuss critical topics brewing within the field!
The first episode features a conversation between Tae Keller, the 2021 Newbery Award winner, and Dr. Daley, an assistant professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature, discussing the representations of girlhood presented in Keller's novel, When You Trap A Tiger. Their conversation provides new insights into representations of girlhood as it intersects with concepts of postmodern girlhood, decolonizing girlhood, and the impact of trauma on girlhood.
