Julie C. Garlen (she\/her) is a critical cultural theorist with interests in childhood, education, and curriculum studies. Previously, she worked in the U.S. South as an elementary school teacher and an early childhood teacher educator. Before she immigrated to Canada, her work on cultural studies of education and children\u2019s popular culture led to the publication of two volumes co-edited with Jennifer Sandlin: Teaching with Disney<\/em> (Peter Lang, 2016) and Disney, Culture and Curriculum<\/em> (Routledge, 2016).<\/p>\n

More recently, Dr. Garlen\u2019s work has focused on how the Western myth of childhood innocence informs work with and understandings of children in North American contexts. Since 2018, she has been working with a team of researchers on how memories shape understandings of childhood among adults preparing for careers involving work with children. Currently, she is the primary investigator of a SSHRC-funded research project, \u201cGirls in the Digital World,\u201d which explores how to facilitate participatory action research (PAR) with children. She is also co-editing a book tentatively titled \u201cBeyond Innocence: Refusing the Limits of Contemporary Childhood,\u201d to be published in 2023 with Lexington Books.<\/p>\n
