The following pages contain information about my dissertation. I passed
my PhD exams (oral and written) in the fall of 2007 and am currently
writing my dissertation.
My dissertation will examine the changing nature of children's literature
and culture in a digital age. To focus this broad topic, I will look
at the transitions and convergences between old and new media. This
will encompass a wide spectra of media that are defined as children's
literature and culture such as books, video games, movies, toys, and
online components such as digital libraries, blogs, and wikis. I will
use these media to specifically analyze the transitory and intertextual
nature of children's culture.
