DESCRIPTION:This seminar will present findings from a qualitative case stu
 dy in which a Year 6 class reads and responds to David Almond’s My Name 
 is Mina (2010). In doing so it will employ a Bakhtinian perspective on lit
 erature\, dialogue and education to examine how children’s novels use mu
 ltimodality to challenge readers by disrupting narrative conventions\, off
 ering them instead a multiplicity\, or at least a doubling\, of reading po
 sitions. These aid the children in playfully exploring and reflecting on s
 ubjectivity\, language and storytelling. \n\n*Bio*\n\n*Eve Tandoi* is in t
 he process of finishing her PhD at the Faculty of Education\, University o
 f Cambridge. She is a qualified primary teacher and has experience of teac
 hing children’s literature and theory at an undergraduate level. Her lat
 est research involves exploring the book as a material object of play.
