Housed at the Centre for Research in Young People's Texts and Cultures (CRYTC), CCL/LCJ: Canadian Children's Literature/Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse is a bilingual refereed academic journal with the purpose of advancing knowledge and understanding of the texts produced for children in Canada in a range of media in English, French and other languages. Produced under the sponsorship of the Vice President (Research) and the Dean of Arts at the University of Winnipeg, CCL/LCJ publishes sound theoretically informed scholarship about all aspects of texts for children in Canada in both of Canada's official languages.
CCL/LCJ focuses on texts for and about children in Canada of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and provides a venue for research and writing that furthers our understanding of how these texts function culturally and ideologically in the lives of children and adults. CCL/LCJ also publishes work focused on these texts as part of the body of material produced internationally by adults for children, a literature with specific forms of artistry and specific locations in literary and cultural history and theory.
