New Approaches and Research Methods
Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Geschwister-Scholl-Str. 2, 55131 Mainz
The Summer School: New Approaches and Methods for Research in Children’s Media is aimed at students interested in Children’s and YA-media in Germany and abroad. Numerous lectures and workshops by international experts will provide new cultural studies perspectives on Children’s Media (e.g. Disability Studies and New Environmental Studies) with methods from the digital humanities. Excursions and meetings with staff from publishing houses and cultural institutions will introduce participants to the Rhine-Main region as a book and cultural region and provide opportunities for networking.
