Children’s and YA Literature Research Forum (CYALRF)

The Children’s and YA Literature Research Forum (CYALRF) provides a platform for researchers in the field of children's and YA literature to share and develop new research, resources and critical approaches. CYALRF is open to all who are working within the field at Goldsmiths, University of London and beyond.  It encourages collaboration through the sharing of research interests, co-writing papers, collaborating on projects and contributing to discussion groups. Our most recent collaborative project is an edited collection exploring different academic approaches to a single text: the fairy tale ‘Hansel and Gretel’ (forthcoming, 2024).
