Professor Karin Lesnik-Oberstein was recently asked to contribute to the blog curated by publisher Lantana.
Lantana’s purpose is to ‘publish inclusive books by under-represented voices celebrating every kind of child and family’.
Professor Lesnik-Oberstein wrote on the kinds of ‘power’ (including cultural power and political power) that myths and fairy-tales are often thought to have, and she explains the ways in which these ideas are interrogated in her teaching on the MRes in Children’s Literature at Reading.
