Fairy tales; presentations using Structuralist, Feminist, Marxist,
Reader Response/ Reception Theory and Cultural Studies criticism; Fairy
Tales as Children's Literature; the history and evolution of Fairy
Tales; the cause and effects of the "Disneyfication" of Fairy Tales; the
use and value of Fairy Tales. I am interested in as wide an array of
