The 44th Annual Children’s Literature Association Conference | June 22-24, 2017 3 SPECIAL THANKS Our vision for the 2017 conference drew heavily on the Florida experience as we proposed a conference that explores the many futures of children’s literature. We are indebted to the following individuals who helped us create a program in which we can all explore the imagined futures of children’s literature in a location such as Tampa, Florida. Melanie and Jenifer would like to thank Roberta Seelinger Trites for her historical, logistical, and contemporary knowledge of the conference and all things ChLA. You were the Yin to our Yang, the Lucy to our Ethel. Thank you for every single email, piece of advice, and conference call. We literally could not have prepared this program without you. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to ChLA President, Kenneth Kidd. Throughout the conference planning process, we appreciated your consistent support, confidence, and positive outlook every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with you. Our sincere appreciation goes to Mr. Todd Chavez, Dean of the USF Libraries, and Dr. Roger Brindley, Vice President of USF World and Interim Dean of the College of Education, for their outstanding support of the ChLA Conference. We appreciate your sponsorship of specific conference events and ongoing ChLA traditions as well as your support of our work to plan and prepare the conference. We would also like to thank Phyllis Smith of the USF Bookstore for her support in promoting ChLA Book Awards and the Francelia Butler Lecture. Thanks also to the Tampa Bay History Center for providing us with a beautiful space to honor the 2017 Phoenix Award winners. We are indebted to Csaba Osvath for his extraordinary artistic talents and his creation of a logo that captured the spirit of the conference. Thank you to Anne W. Anderson for strategically creating and implementing a social media plan to promote the conference by featuring individual contributions and sessions and to Stephanie Branson for compiling all of the “things to do” in Tampa. Thank you to the USF doctoral students in Literacy Studies, our colleagues from the USF Libraries, and graduate and undergraduate students in English for assisting us with tasks well in advance and those at the very last minute. We appreciate your willingness to help in all ways. Thank you to Jamie Reed, Ashley Uhl, and the members of the Meeting Expectations team for your assistance and immediate response to every query and request. Finally, we would like to thank our international colleagues, featured speakers, and invited guests for traveling to the US to share your scholarship and to participate in the ChLA conference. You are essential to any imagined future of children’s literature, and we sincerely thank you for your participation and commitment to global engagement in the context of strange and troubling times.

4 COME ONE, COME ALL, TO ChLA 2017 IN TAMPA!

When visitors think of Florida, they imagine Disney World, beaches, vacations, and, ultimately, retirement-visions that hardly mesh with the realities of life in a state that boasts yearly invasions of pirates, snowbirds, and abnormally large bugs. In addition to the bifurcated space between perception and reality, Florida is also a tale of two coasts: the Suncoast and the Spacecoast, the fantastic and the historic, the fictional and nonfictional, the utopic and dystopic. Past and present sit side by side, and the futures in Florida require careful navigation of perception, reality, and the distance between the two.

In honor of Florida’s circus, carnival, and theme park traditions, and in recognition of Tampa’s founding by Cuban, Spanish, Italian, and Jewish immigrants on Seminole tribal land, we will explore the futures in and of children’s literature through: • Travel, traveling and travelers • Travelers, pirates, sideshows, and the grotesque • Magic, circuses, and carnival • Misfits and the magical • Celebration and discrimination

In honor of Florida’s history of transportation and ingenuity, we will explore similar topics in a completely different context: • Travel, traveling, and travelers • Inventions and inventors • Imagination and Imagineering • Time, progress, space, journeys, distance • Trains and tracks • Escape • Waiting

In honor of Florida’s, indeed our world’s, diminishing natural resources, we will explore the futures of children’s literature via those natural resources, including: • Nonfiction explorations such as climate and coastline, fish and fowl, pipelines and predators • Science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction • Propaganda and politics • The teacher, librarian, and bookstore, and read aloud as diminishing resources

Finally, in honor of our Space Coast and Suncoast, the rise of digital technology and the return to the book, we invite papers that explore the relationship between technology and the futures of children’s literature, and explore xhanges in the ways that children’s literature is produced, consumed, promoted, and shared, including: • Access, presence, and spaces • Experiential learning • Children’s literature museums, archives and libraries • Children’s literature and online spaces, including social media
