I enjoyed presenting on children's Art History picture books this morning. It's kickstarted an exciting new direction for my research :)
Thanks to @jenniegouck.bsky.social for organizing the 'Mothers, Motherhood, and Mothering in Children's and Young Adult Literature' #kidlit conference!

Thanks to @drbecca.bsky.social I'm delighted to have written the Publishing Industry chapter in new undergrad textbook Children's Literature and Culture: An Intro. It's published by Routledge, where I had my first proper job in publishing :)

i submitted 2.5 months early! i was slated to present on class, race & gender in designs of posthumous editions of wonderland at SHARP last year. unfortunately, i had to back out, so this would be a great venue for finally sharing that work!

Hot off the press!
I'm pleased to have contributed a chapter – 'Reflections on Book Publishing Strategies: A Guide to Types of Editions of the Alice Books' – alongside brilliant Carrollians.
Thx to @frankendodo.bsky.social and Justine Houyaux for wrangling us!

Here comes my first post ...
I won an Excellence in Teaching Award from Simon Fraser University for teaching Publishing grads and undergrads. It was a tougher-than-usual semester to be a sessional, so it's nice to wrap it up with an award!
