University of Sunderland's Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies are pleased to announce an afternoon of talks on contemporary children's media.
This session will see four speakers, ranging from PhD candidates to established academics, considering issues emerging from their work on contemporary children’s film and literature, and looking at the ever-blurring boundaries between child and adult audiences.
