Children’s Literature and Children’s Lives – Symposium

This symposium brings together scholars interested in children’s literature and history with writers, doctors, and other practitioners who work with issues of children’s literacy, health, education, and well-being.

We believe that by looking at the content of children’s literature, the ways that children learn to read and incorporate literature into their lives, and the intersections between children’s reading and pediatric issues of health and development – all seen in the broader context of history and society – we can create meaningful interdisciplinary conversations and spark new dialogues and collaborations.
