Summary
Utilizing methods of research, social and historical inquiry, as well as interviews and examination of texts both primary and secondary, the purpose of my senior work project is to interrogate the dominant view(s) of multi-cultural early childhood literature through the lens of contemporary picture books. The project will explore how dominant views of racism are implicit in the texts through exploring three key concepts: the process of “Othering”, the notion of the “white gaze”, and white privilege. The results of my explorations and analyses will be creatively synthesized into a contemporary children’s book consisting of the re-telling and illustrations of a piece of multi-cultural literature (yet to be determined).
