A new space and requirements for publication in the blog


 
We are pleased to announce our plans for the ‘new epoch’ for this blog. Within a couple of months it will re-emerge with a new title as

“Reading Changes: Literacy and Literature for Children and Young Adults”

The aim is for it to become a space for exchanging knowledge on issues of children's and Young Adult literature or on the literacy practices of children and young people through the publication of a summary and findings of Master’s dissertations or PhD thesis from any country around the world on these topics.
In this way, we can continue the conversation we have been having in the last two years. We believe these shared spaces are even more important now for increasing collaboration among people across nations and continents, for building bridges between researchers and teachers and creating connections that encourage an engagement with texts that is pleasurable and creatively stimulating but that also leads to a better understanding of human beings through literature and reading.
If you are interested in writing an entry, please see the detailed requirements below.
We would also like to take this opportunity to invite readers who have previously visited this blog to contact us with any comments about the entries of the previous two years, about any suggestions and in particular, about any ways in which the information disseminated through this blog has had an impact on your thinking, reading, researching or teaching. We would be very interested in knowing who you are and hearing about your reasons for visiting us so many times (please email evelyn.arizpe@glasgow.ac.uk). Thank you in advance.
We hope you will continue to join us as readers or perhaps collaborators on this exciting new adventure which will begin at the end of October 2016.
