Teaching

I convene the 2nd year module on C19th American Literature called 'Writing America: Perspectives on the Nation' and a 3rd year module on Nigerian Literature in English.

I also convene ‘Global Children’s Literatures in English’ for the MRes in Children’s Literature

I supervise undergraduate dissertation students working on a range of subjects such as: pre- and post-Darwinian Children's Fiction about animals (making use of the Special Collections in Children's literature held at ÒÁÈËÖ±²¥app), African Literature (often making use of the publishers’ archives of the African Writers Series), American Literature (particularly literature about nature and/or the wilderness).

I contribute to the following modules:

  • Changing Identities (foundation level)
  • Environmental Humanities (foundation level)
  • Prose: Writing Identities (undergraduate, part 1)
  • Modern American Culture and Counter-Culture (undergraduate, part 1)
  • The Business of Books (undergraduate, part 2)
  • Contemporary Fiction (undergraduate, part 2)
  • Modernism and Modern Poetry (undergraduate, part 2)
  • Children's Literature (Undergraduate, part 3)
  • Publishing and the Business of Books (MA in English)
  • Contemporary Literature and Ethnicity (MA in English)
  • Popular Forms (MRes in Children's Literature)
  • Children's Radio, Television and Film (MRes in Children's Literature)
  • Nineteenth Century Children's Literature (MRes in Children's Literature)

I supervise MA dissertation students working on an equally diverse range of topics for the MRes in Children's Literature, for example: 'Ideas of Writing in the Work of Children's Fantasy Writer Diana Wynne Jones', 'Ideas of agency and authority in The Brownies' Book' (which was the first periodical specifically for African-American children edited by W.E.B. Du Bois in the 1920s), and a dissertation on ideas about teenage sexuality as analysed in the debates around Stephanie Meyer's Twilight.
