Episode 4 of Critical Conversations in Children's Literature with guest Lin Oliver

Critical Conversations in Children's Literature is a web series developed to bring children's literary writers in conversation with scholars to discuss critical topics brewing within the field. This web series is funded by CAL IRA funds. 

The series was developed by our very own Dr. Lashon Daley, assistant professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State University. This series is funded by the College of Arts & Letters Instructional Activities Grant and is hosted in collaboration with the National Center for the Study of Children's Literature.

Episode 4 titled: "Thoughts on 'Collaboration' in the Industry of Children's Literature" features a conversation between Dr. Daley and Lin Oliver, which centers on the topic of collaboration within the industry of children’s literature.

Lin Oliver is the co-founder, along with Stephen Mooser, of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators also known as SCBWI. She serves as its Executive Director. Working from its headquarters in Los Angeles, Lin guides the organization through changes and challenges of the contemporary publishing field and is proud to help launch new careers that will change the face of children's picture books.

So without further ado, here's episode 4 of CCICL:

We hope you enjoy it! Until next time!
