On 20th November 2024 at 1 pm we held an event to ‘unveil’ the sign naming Edith Morley Lecture Theatre G27 in honour of (the late) Mr Tony Watkins, who founded the MA in Children’s Literature here forty years ago (in 1984) as the first MA in the UK (and probably the world) to teach Children’s Literature from cultural and critical studies’ angles rather than from an educational or library studies perspective.
