Funded Activity Summary

Building cultural citizenship: Multiculturalism and children's literature. This project will generate new knowledge - theoretical, methodological and pedagogical - through its interdisciplinary approach, which brings critical and cultural theories to bear on Australian children's literature from 1990 to 2003, and specifically on how this literature represents and advocates cultural values and meanings concerning migration, citizenship, multiculturalism and community relations. It will result in the first major study of the production and reception of multicultural literature for Australian children, and will make an important contribution to pedagogy by informing the fields of primary, secondary and tertiary education through the concepts it develops and the teaching resources it produces.
