ChLA 2021: Thank You!

The International Committee’s virtual focus panel on Korean Children's Literature at the annual ChLA conference was a success, and I would like to thank the ChLA board for their continuing support for international children's literature and scholars at the conference.

I also thank all the ChLA members and conference participants who attended the panel as well as the panelists Hyugjun Kwon, Jang Jeung-Hee, and Dafna Zur. I would like to thank the discussant, Dr. Yeo Joo Lim from Pusan National University for moderating the panel, and Dr. Sarah Park Dahlen from St. Catherine University for hosting the session on Wednesday (June 9) during the conference.

The International Committee is pleased to have hosted this informative and lively discussion of Korean's children's literature, and look forward to hosting next year’s discussion of international children's literature.

This panel is currently available for viewing on ChLA's YouTube channel. Additionally, videos from two virtual events, the Creative Kids Series (featuring Mumbai poet Prachi Kothari) and our writing forum, "Black YA in the Arcade" are available for viewing. ChLA members can log in to their ChLA accounts to see more special recordings from the 2021 ChLA Conference.
