Guidelines for Contributors

CCL/LCJ: Canadian Children's Literature / Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse is a bilingual refereed academic journal that advances knowledge and understanding of texts of Canadian children's literature in a range of media in both English and French. CCL/LCJ publishes sound theoretically informed scholarship about all aspects of texts for Canadian children in both of Canada's official languages. The journal focuses on texts for and about Canadian children of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds both in terms of how the texts function culturally and ideologically in the lives of Canadian children and adults and of how they represent a specific kind of literature requiring consideration in terms of their artistry and of literary and cultural history and theory. CCL/LCJ seeks articles from specialists in English and /or French literature, theatre and drama, media studies, literary theory, education, information science, childhood and cultural studies, and related disciplines on any and all texts for Canadian children in a range of contexts: the economic and cultural aspects of their production and consumption, the history and nature of children's literature and culture nationally and internationally (including discussions of Canadian texts in relation to those published elsewhere), and literature and literary and cultural history and theory generally. CCL/LCJ also seeks articles that explore the practical implications of the research it publishes for librarians, teachers, and other practitioners who work with child readers.
