Round the Globe: Travel Routes of Children's Literature Website Launch

May 27, 2021 - 9:30am to 11:00am

This collaborative project investigates how children's literature's history was shaped by transnational trade, colonization, and evangelism, as well as diverse local innovations and responses. We aim to create an international community that can contribute to this work!

Join us for a conversation on May 27 from 9:30-11:00 a.m. featuring our initial team: Sreemoyee Dasgupta (India), Gabriela Lee (The Philippines), and Courtney Weikle-Mills (The Caribbean), with responses by Allyson Delnore and Maja Konitzer.

About the Program

It is rare to have the opportunity to study children's literature, but Pitt has offered courses in children's literature since as early as 1933! The Children's Literature Certificate provides students with a springboard for many areas of professional work and study. Read about Pitt's pioneering history in children's literature and childhood studies, see the national awards won by our students and faculty, explore Pittsburgh's history of special contributions to children's culture, and find out what students are saying about the program.
