Kit Kavanagh-Ryan

Kit Kavanagh-Ryan is Lecturer of Information Studies at Charles Sturt University, Australia. When not falling over, they think and write about the weird and lovely ways bodies and minds work together. While falling over, they’re still doing that, just slower. A librarian and early career researcher with a background in literary and disability studies, Kit’s research interests relate disability in children’s and young adult literature, disability in speculative fiction, historical representations of disability in literature for children, and intersections of disability studies and librarianship.
