(Publicity for the event which was held on 31 March 2021) From founding initiatives to promote creative learning in Arabic, to writing stories about black gay teens reclaiming their identities through drag, Goldsmiths alumni are leading the way in challenging societal structures by creating diverse stories for children and young adults. Goldsmiths has been home to some of the most exciting and radical voices of children’s literature. This overarching question framed the debate: What does it mean to see yourself represented in a story? The event was positioned in this way to spark debate and provide a space to discuss diverse stories. Ella Asheri, as part of the team at the Goldsmiths’ Development and Alumni Office, brought together this inspiring online event to ask difficult questions and discuss future directions within children’s and Young Adult literature.
