Ever wonder what an academic children's literature conference is like? Spend the week with me at the 2023 International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL) Congress held at UC Santa Barbara. I had a great time meeting scholars from all over the world and learning about their research!

Dr. Fikile Nxumalo is an associate professor in the Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, where she directs the Childhood Place Pedagogy Lab. She is also an affiliated faculty in the School of the Environment. Her scholarship focuses on reconceptualizing place-based and environmental education within current times of ecological precarity. She roots her scholarship in perspectives from Indigenous knowledges and Black feminist geographies. Her book, "Decolonizing Place in Early Childhood Education," which was published by Routledge in 2019, examines the entanglements of place, environmental education, childhood, race, and settler colonialism in early learning contexts.
