Tween Fiction on TV

My final project for my MA degree looked at book-to-TV movie adaptations of tween novels, with special attention to representations of race and ethnicity. This project had a critical element and a creative one; I analyzed two book series and their TV movie franchises, and then I proposed my own adaptation based on a newer tween series.

This, That, Both, Neither: The Badging of Biracial Identity in YA Literature

I presented this research at the YALSA YA Literature Symposium on November 3, 2012. The paper is forthcoming in the Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults, but you can view the accompanying Prezi here. By the way, I also curate a page on Scoop where I gather other research, book reviews, and discussions on literature about the biracial experience, which you can view here.
