Dr. Annette Wannamaker, President of the Children's Literature Association, presents the Mentoring Award to Dr. Mackey
The Children's Literature Association gave Dr. Margaret Mackey of SLIS its Mentoring Award last week at the annual conference in Columbus, Ohio. The award was described as falling into the "lifetime achievement" category, and acknowledged, among other things, Dr. Mackey's twelve years as North American Editor-in-Chief of the journal Children's Literature in Education: An International Quarterly. Her work with students and junior colleagues was also mentioned in the citation.
While in Columbus, Dr. Mackey also made a conference presentation on the subject of "Animating Pullman's Daemons."
