Biography
- B(Hons) of Human Sciences in English Language and Literature at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) from 2014 – 2017
- M(Res) in Children’s Literature at the University of Reading, England from 2017 - 2018
I joined the Department of Education as a PhD researcher in October 2021 and am currently in my 1st year. Growing up, I read plenty of children’s books but my love grew even deeper with Children’s Literature whilst doing a course on the subject during my Student Exchange Programme abroad at Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, South Korea and I have not looked back since! Prior to this, I have worked as a lecturer teaching English Literature in Malaysia. I also have experiences working and volunteering with children both here in England (Museum of English Rural Life, Reading) and back in my home country Malaysia.
Research
PhD Topic:
Photographs and illustrations of photographs in Children’s Literature.
Abstract:
I will be studying photographs and representations of photographs (they can be illustrated in the forms of a painting, drawing, or others but understood to be photographs) in various genres within Children’s Literature such as graphic novels, picturebooks and hybrid novels. I will be looking from the fields of visual arts in particular photography, but also other areas which are pertinent to my study.
I aim to study the purpose of the insertion of these visuals, the way they are depicted to the implications of the insertion of these visuals to the literary work.
