Grad Chat - Queen's School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral AffairsMary Johnson (English) – Ecocritical approaches to children’s literatureMary is interested in exploring intersections of girlhood and wild spaces in “Golden Age” (1865-1926) children’s literature. In particular, I want to consider how relationships with wild spaces (re)configure awareness of the body, especially when contextualized with the ED (disordered eating) rhetoric that continues to be quietly pervasive across children’s literature.
