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.
