Congratulations to Master of Arts in Children’s Literature candidate Sae Yong Kim, who has successfully defended her thesis, “An Analysis of a Selection of English-Language Korean Folktale Picture Books.” In her study, Sae Yong draws from the fields of folktale and fairy tale studies, Korean studies, and translation studies to examine the changes that are made to Korean folktales when they are retold in English and published in North America in the form of picture books. The thesis was supervised by SLAIS faculty member Professor Judith Saltman, who is the chair of the MACL program; also on the committee was Margot Filipenko of the UBC Department of Language and Literacy Education in the Faculty of Education.
