New year, new thesis section. 🥳 I'm now exploring the construction of YA dystopian heroines and their connection to Gothic girlhood (p.e., experiencing violence, trauma, isolation). Any essays/books suggestions? Thanks !😊 #AcademicTwitter #YAstudies #YA #YAfiction

#yastudies friends! I'm giving a brief talk at LFCC/YALC on studying YA at university (covering a bit on how I got into it, how to start, and what opportunities are out there for studying and careers post uni). If anyone has any suggestions of things I should include, please lmk!

Dr Leah Phillips I have a feeling you’d enjoy this one in particular! Bodies, landscapes, varying depictions of strong women? ✅ 🙃 one more #tbr 😅 #yastudies

IJYAL is accepting manuscripts for the 2024 issue. As Co-General Editor, I'm always happy to chat with researchers about ideas and developing them for publication, whether you're plotting your 1st or 100th article. ijyal[at]roehampton.ac.uk #YAStudies

Incredibly proud of friend, colleague, and Ploughing the Field co-conspirator for the publication of her new monograph. I was lucky enough to read multiple iterations of the manuscript, and it is really doing some fabulous things with and for #YAStudies!

I’m absolutely THRILLED and honoured to introduce the world to Dr Tori Bovalino. She absolutely smashed her critical/creative PhD, and we should all be paying attention to her fiction. Well-done, tori bovalino (updates). #YA #YAStudies YA Studies Association

What forthcoming or recently published #YAStudies academic books should we be reviewing in our upcoming issues? 👀

Call For Papers: YA Studies Around the World Online Conference To be considered, please send your proposal and a short biography to [email protected] by 30 June 2022 #CFP #YAlit #YAstudies #worldkidlit

Could any of my #YAStudies colleagues recommend any recent & great scholarship? I'm getting back into research after a hectic semester and would love some advice on what I should be catching up on!

This is such a good conference! From the people to the structure to the accessibility, it was my fav online conference experience of 2020/2021. Plus you should defs come see what me & Sara Partin & one of our other friends have cooking for this year 👀 #YASA2022 #YAStudies

Bit of a long shot, but if anyone in #YAstudies or #YAacademia knows of any teaching experience opportunities, or other academic opportunities coming up, I'd really appreciate hearing about them. Reaching the end of the PhD and desperately trying to stay in academia. #YAscholars
