Research Highlights


  • Bringing the taboo topic of alcohol and childhood into the limelight, The Drinking Curriculum: A Cultural History of Childhood and Alcohol is a lively exploration into America's preoccupation with childhood innocence and its corruption.

  • Graphic Girlhoods focuses on the schoolgirl as a popular figure in childrens literature and culture through which adults express personal, social, and institutional violence. Focusing on graphic feminist pedagogies within childrens literature, cartoons, and graphic novels Marshall points out how violence is an ordinary childhood curriculum that we do not always see coming, and that we might not outgrow or ever fully understand.
