Linda Arnold Carlisle Professorship Talk: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”: Children, Animals, and Environmental Ethics in The Juvenile Miscellany and Beyond

Posted on 04/08/2015

What were American children’s relationships with animals in the early nineteenth century? What issues did these earlier youths face that remain important? How did reading awaken them – and their parents – to vital ethical issues? Can children act as agents for social change? How might children’s literature help transform US society today? Please come and discuss these questions with Professor Kilcup, WGS’ Linda Arnold Carlisle Distinguished Exellence Professor.

This event will be held from 2PM-3:30PM in the Faculty Center.
