About the lecture
In this lecture on children’s literature without borders, Sara Pankenier Weld will consider how children’s literature research benefits from challenging boundaries. She will introduce a variety of examples from the study of children’s literature across time periods, regions, and audience categorizations to argue that the children’s literature research benefits from conscious efforts to resist the borders and boundaries that divide us, whether in time, space, language, or age.
