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.
