Jane Sunderland awarded joint-winner of the IGALA book prize for 2012

Date: 27 November 2012

Jane Sunderland's research monograph, Language, Gender and Children's Fiction (Bloomsbury/Continuum, 2011) has been awarded joint-winner of the biannual International Gender and Language Association (IGALA) book prize for 2012.

The book includes chapters on fairytales, children's reading schemes, stories featuring two-Mum and two-Dad families (written with PhD student Mark McGlashan), and, of course, Harry Potter, with a special focus on gender relations and the representation of Hermione. (Following on from this, Jane is currently PI of a British Academy-funded research project, 'Harry Potter and Boys' Literacies', with Steve Dempster of Educational Research and Joanne Thistlethwaite of LAEL.)
