SUHAR: The proceedings of the first international conference titled "Readings in Juvenile Literature" kicked off on Wednesday in the Wilayat of Sohar, Al Batinah North Governorate. The two-day conference is organised by Sohar University in partnership with the Oman Society for Writers and Literati.
Dr Ali bin Salim al Man’ee, Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Conference, said that the event aligns with efforts to spread public awareness about the importance of scholarly research and culture, preserve a nation's memory, revive heritage and enhance intergenerational integration, in addition to encouraging researchers and innovative talents to extend channels of communication with the community.
“The diverse scopes of the 35 specialised research papers being presented at the conference reflects the interdisciplinary nature of literature featuring the interests of children and young — which in itself constitutes a sphere lying at the intersection of language, literature, education, culture, identity, memory, science and technology”, Dr Ali said. This provides a broad platform for scholarly dialogue and a spectrum for the exchange of insights and expertise among researchers and specialists, he added. — ONA
