Registration for Crip Kid Lit: Critical Approaches to Disability in Children’s and Young Adult Literature and Media is NOW OPEN! Crip Kid Lit has grown into a two-day hybrid conference running Friday 19th April and Saturday 20th April. With a programme of 52 panelists, 19 posters, and 2 keynotes delivered by Maren Conrad (University of Cologne, Germany) and Ria Cheyne (Liverpool Hope University, United Kingdom), the aim of our conference is to provide a fresh, hybrid space for conversations about the representation of disability in texts for young people to flourish from an interdisciplinary and international perspective. We welcome you to join us either online or in-person at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UK.
