Nous avons le plaisir de publier l'appel à contribution pour ce colloque international qui se tiendra à l'université de Padoue du 19 au 21 novembre 2020 (University of Padua – Department FISPPA – Piazza Capitaniato).Much has been written about the historical undervaluing of children’s literature and research (e.g., Nikolajeva, 2016). While there is considerable literature concerning the teaching of children’s literature in primary and secondary classrooms (e.g., Arizpe &#38; Styles, 2016), since 2006 (Butler, 2006) there has been relative silence about how and what we teach in this field at university level. This conference will be breaking this silence by providing a forum for perspectives on teaching children’s literature at tertiary institutions from around the world.This conference reflects the importance of the growing discipline of children’s literature in tertiary contexts, both benchmarking and supporting the development of effective formative practices.We invite papers related to the overall theme of the conference. Possible areas for investigation include, but are not restricted to: Teaching children’s literature courses for undergraduate studentsTeaching children’s literature at the graduate levelOrganizing a program of courses for children’s literatureDeciding on reading lists/syllabiStrategies for actively engaging studentsTeaching children’s literature within and across different traditions (history studies, literary studies, education, library science)Assessment within children’s literatureTeaching methods usedInstitutional possibilities and limitationsLocal, national or global guidelinesCross-disciplinary panel discussion of the inclusion of children’s literature in other disciplines such as arts, science, geography, mathematics, biology, illustration, design, architecture.SubmissionPlease send an abstract of 300 words maximum and a short biography of 100 words as a single Word document to Nicola Daly at fosteringdialogue@waikato.ac.nz.
