 turebooks which began at the University of Barcelona in September 2007
 . These international symposiums promise to be a major bi-annual event
  in the world of picturebook research and scholarship.\n\nThe 2nd Symp
 osium in Glasgow will include presentations that provide a new focus f
 or research and scholarship through questions of what it means to go b
 eyond borders in art, narrative and culture in picturebooks. This will
  act as a unifying theme for the two strands that were developed in Ba
 rcelona: the literary/artistic approach and the audience/child respons
 e appproach. It also reflects the intercultural ethos of the symposium
 .\n\nWe are also proud to announce that the renowned Scottish artist, 
 <b>Mairi Hedderwick</b>, author of the famous Katie Morag picturebooks
  will be talking about her work during the Symposium and we will be ho
 sting an exhibition of some of her work.\n\nAs well as presentations b

 be welcoming a number of new speakers whom we are sure will significan
 tly contribute to the ongoing dicussions.\n\nWe warmly welcome partici
 pants who wish to take part in our discussions and develop networks wi
 th other scholars. You will be a valuable contributor to the proceedin
 gs.\n\nOn <b>Saturday 19th September,</b> we especially welcome one-da

 wick as well as to papers which are relevant to current issues in lite
 racy education.\n\nFor a registration form, contact\n\n<b>Conference &
 amp; Visitor Services Office\nUniversity of Glasgow\nNo.3 The Square\n

  the Symposium will also provide a forum for the dissemination of the 
 research by the teams participating in the Visual Journeys Project. Th
 is international project involves children from different parts of the
  world responding to the same wordless picturebooks which deal with th
 e themes of journeys, migration and the power of the visual image itse
 lf. Speakers from the USA, Spain and Australia will be participating i
 n this panel.\n\nFinally, there will be an opportunity to see an exhib
 ition of Scottish picturebooks and children’s literature in the Univ
