Michelle Superle, PhD - Course Tutor for H14
Role Perceptions of Women in Children's Literature
Michelle
obtained her doctorate in Children's Literature from the University
of British Columbia. She teaches English and Children's Literature
at the University College of the Fraser Valley, UBC's Writing Centre,
and Capilano College's Continuing Education Program.
I chose to write, teach, and study childrens literature because
I love the stories. Equally, I find this body of texts a revealing
portal into both society and human nature. Without a doubt, childrens
literature is a shared cultural experience. The books we read as children
give us our literary apprenticeship and a language to communicate
with and relate to one another. Indeed, the very characters become
part of our shared psyche. Dont believe me? Just think about
the all the ways Cinderella infiltrates popular culture . . . and
your ideas about yourself and the world.
