Dr Jade Dillon, MIC, will present a public lecture on the representations of girlhood and the pubescent body in children's literature. She will focus specifically on the physical and metaphorphic presence of the real child in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Dr Jade Dillon is a lecturer at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick (Ireland). Her research focuses on the visual iconography of the ‘Alice’ figure created in Lewis Carroll’s Alice books and it traces the progression of Alice’s characterisation through multimodal platforms including illustration and fine art photography. She has published her research with numerous academic journals and books, as well as general articles on children’s literature with RTE Brainstorm (Ireland).
