Cambridge University is starting a Centre for the Study of Children's Literature. All I can say is I'm glad that I don't get any major news coverage for having Twilight on my syllabus.
Congratulations, new students, who will be getting to study with Maria Nikolajeva.
Also, jeers to the BBC article, for thinking an appropriate pull quote from the sentence "If what we regard as trash is popular with young people, we need to know why and whether, as researchers and teachers, we can offer them something that addresses the same needs but also deals with these themes in a critical and ethical way." is "Trash Is Popular". I admit Maria Nikolajeva is sometimes difficult to understand, but "if what we regard as trash is popular..." is not an unclear conditional.
