Bachelor of Arts in English-Young People's Texts and Cultures

The University of Winnipeg

The specialization in Young People's Texts and Cultures focuses on texts created for children and young people and introduces students to the study of those texts as well as toys, games, picture books, digital media, films and performances. The Department that includes, among others, Indigenous, Black, Asian, Jewish, Arab, and Global South scholars, creative writers, staff, and students, some with direct experience of living under colonialism and occupation, who specialise in Critical Race Studies, Genocide Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, Decolonial Studies, Black Studies and Indigenous Studies. Many of our members are antiracist scholars who strive for meaningful equity in their pedagogy. These areas necessarily entail critiques of settler colonial formations and of acts of genocide, both in the past and in the present.
