The Summer School: New Approaches and Methods for Research in Children’s Media will be held at the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz (Germany) and aims at students interested in Children’s and YA-media in Germany and abroad. Numerous lectures and workshops taught by international experts and artists (such as Pei-Yu Chang, Maren Conrad, Dully & Dax, Ute Dettmar, Vanessa Joosen, Manuela Kalbermatten, Chris Kling, Gerhard Lauer, Johannes Mayer, Emer O'Sullivan) will provide new cultural studies’ perspectives on Children’s Media (e.g. Disability Studies and New Environmental Studies) with methods from the digital humanities.

Further details on the program can be found on the Summer School website: https://childrensmediasummerschool.com/programme/.
