It was a delight to speak about my research on #JudithKerr and Tomi Ungerer 1931 - 2019 and chart my journey from student to scholar with DCU School of English Children's & YA Lit MA students at the start of the new academic year. Thanks, Jennifer, for the invite!

Looking forward to delivering this workshop ahead of Prof. Peter Hunt's guest lecture! In the workshop, we'll be covering how to adapt academic writing for public audiences, how to produce an effective blog post and how blogging may lead to alt-ac careers.

Are there any French readers out there who can help me with this inscription?

Can anyone direct me to any babies/toddlers as focalisers in literature? There are well known animal narrator/focalisers like Woolf’s wonderful Flush. But what about babies? I’m thinking Rabelais? Benjamin Button? Any other suggestions?

Any early career academics out there working on early modern war narratives, solider/veteran stories, trauma, war and memory..?
