Yuko Ashitagawa, CIRCL MA graduate 2001-2002, CIRCL PhD graduate 2005
‘I gained much more than I had expected from the MA. The course was not just about children’s literature; it led me to reconsider the way I read, think, and argue. It prepared me for my PhD research and had an influence on my whole life. I can sincerely say that the MA in Children’s Literature at Reading is worth attending, even if you need to travel all the way from the other side of the earth (which is more or less what I did, as an international student).’
