New video! I catch up w/ some of the OG participants of Monster Book Club and explain my plans for youth book clubs and educational mentorship going forward. Check out the Indiegogo preview & follow the campaign: www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CcO... #childhoodstudies
New video essay! I explore the #ITfilms and #ANightmareonElmStreet & how their #monsters represent the perils of puberty and the terrors of the teen years. Turns out, the greatest fear of all is how many ways the adult world can let adolescents down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeKo... #childhoodstudies
Forgot to post my latest video! If monsters are so scary, why are there so many stories that use them to teach young children to be less afraid? Join me as I discuss monster picturebooks and #MonstersInc! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqvz... #childhoodstudies #monsterstudies #Grover
Header of an academic article published in the journal 'New Media & Society'. The title reads: ‘I just go headbutt a tree or something’: Children’s contextualised digital play drivers and subjective well-being in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia and Cyprus. The authors are listed as Fiona Scott, Liz Chesworth, Stavroula Kontovourki, Karen Murcia, Karin Murris, Kim Balnaves, and Cath Bannister.
Come for the title (“I just go headbutt a tree...”), stay for the incredible scholarship.
Serious admiration for this multi-national study on how kids navigate digital play and well-being.

New video is up! If childhood is so precious and beautiful, then why is the idea of eternal childhood so tragic and terrifying? Come explore these questions with me by delving into the figure of the child vampire. youtu.be/y_cZqDnwqPY

New video! Why do conspiracy stories -- past and present, allegedly true or overtly fictional -- always seem to have helpless and holy kids in them? Check out this discussion to unpack the spectacle of the sacred child martyr.

Currently writing about the Trunchbull from Matilda as a monster. What other not-technically-nonhuman-but-definitely-still-a-monster characters from children's media can you think of? #childhoodstudies #monsterstudies
Doing research for my next video and having a very fun time on the "cultural variants" section of Wikipedia's bogeyman page. World peace could possibly be achieved by appealing to humanity's collective love of freaking out our kids. #monsterstudies #childhoodstudies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogeyman
Ever wonder what we can learn about childhood from monster stories? Wonder no more! Or, actually, wonder a lot more after diving into the topic with me on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEfO... #childhoodstudies #monsterstudies
