 Dear readers of the CLA Blog,
Thank you for reading the CLA Blog throughout the year. As schools and universities are moving into their winter breaks, the CLA Blog will take a winter hiatus until the second week of January. We extend our wishes to you and yours for a lovely holiday season, full of the celebrations you cherish. May the new year be one of joy, peace, and humanity. See you in January! Warmly, The CLA Blog Editors By Miriam Martinez and Jennifer Slagus on behalf of the CLA Online Research Conference Committee Imagine this: Spending an entire day immersed in the latest research on children’s literature. If you’re used to attending literacy conferences, you might think that’s not something that usually happens! So, how can you access such an experience? By attending the Children’s Literature Assembly Online Research Conference, of course! This inaugural conference, sponsored by the Children’s Literature Assembly and the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia, promises a full day dedicated to Illuminating Children’s Literature Research in Theory and Practice. Mark your calendars: The CLA Online Research Conference is scheduled for Friday, February 21st, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM ET. Organized into three strands--research in theory, research in practice, and policy and politics—the conference will offer a rich array of the latest research in children’s literature. The keynote presentation will be given by Dr. Kathy Short, a leader in the field of children’s literature for three decades. Throughout the day, participants can choose from 20 different sessions featuring a wide range of international presenters. There will also be a journal editors session where attendees can meet with editors, learn about their publishing preferences, and discover upcoming calls for papers. Whether you’re a faculty member planning your Spring syllabi for undergraduate or graduate classes, or a literacy leader planning your Spring professional development, or a teacher committed to using children’s literature in the classroom, the CLA Online Research Conference is a meaningful addition to those plans. Encourage your colleagues and students to attend. The discounted student registration rate is just $15. Registration is now open on the conference page on the CLA website, or at tinyurl.com/CLAonConf. The regular registration rate is $30, with a discounted rate of $15 for students. We are excited to offer an accessible and affordable opportunity for students and established researchers to gather and learn about current children’s literature research in theory and practice. And we can hardly wait to see you on Friday, February 21st for an illuminating day of learning and rich discussion about research in children’s literature! Please share the downloadable pdf flier widely! Miriam Martinez is a Professor Emerita of Literacy Education at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She is chair of CLA's endowment committee. Jennifer Slagus (they/she) is a doctoral candidate at Brock University in Ontario, Canada and a Visiting Assistant Librarian at the University of South Florida.
