Memories & Dreams: Past & Possibility in Children's Literature

The MACL 2026 Graduate Student Conference on children’s literature and media will explore how children’s texts engage with personal, cultural, ecological, and ancestral conceptions of memory and dream, and how they envision futures shaped by hope, uncertainty, and resistance. Our theme, Memories and Dreams, aims to explore how literature for children and young adults looks forward and backward, how it remembers, how it dreams, and how it helps young people make meaning in a world shaped by inherited histories and possible futures.
