Dr Sarah Olive

I am a Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Aston University (Birmingham) and Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the School of Educational Sciences (Bangor). My research centres on Shakespeare, in and beyond the UK. A co-authored book on Shakespeare in East Asian Education听was published by Palgrave, with UCHIMARU Kohei, Adele LEE, and Rosalind FIELDING in 2021.听My first monograph, Shakespeare Valued, was published by Intellect in 2015. Full details of my research publications, including book chapters and articles, can be found on this site under the tabs 'my research' > 'research outputs'.听

I am interested in the teaching of literatures, in or translated into, English more generally, in terms of policy, pedagogy, and representation of literature teaching in popular culture. The scope of my interest includes teaching literatures in and beyond English-language environments. In 2022-23, I was the Megumi Visiting Professor in the English Department at Kobe College, Japan. I am interested in the topic as it relates to various sectors: schools, higher education, further education, theatre and heritage education departments, other creative industries and the media.

In 2011, I became the Founding Editor of the British Shakespeare Association's听, a cross-sector magazine for Shakespeare educators internationally. I oversaw the publication of 21 freely-available volumes, with readers in over 60 countries, before taking up the Lead Editorship of the peer-reviewed international journal听听in 2021.听Jeunesse was founded at and run from the University of Winnipeg, Canada, before joining the prestigious journal section of University of Toronto Press in late 2021.

My editorship of Jeunesse听reflects, and contributes to, my emerging reputation for research on young adult (YA) literature and culture, specifically the gothic. I am especially interested in contemporary YA vampire literature's reworkings of Shakespeare, particularly twenty-first century retellings of Romeo and Juliet,听and its representation of sexual consent and violence in relation to recent feminist activism internationally. In 2022, I won an Impact Accelerator Award to create a 听bilingual podcast on YA vampire fiction, consent, sexual and relationships violence (watch this space for links to the podcast in 2023).

What unites my diverse research interests in English and Education are my theoretical and conceptual frameworks, and research methods. These consistently draw on literary criticism; critical theory; cultural studies; literary, content and discourse analysis to analyse texts and other qualitative data (interview transcripts, posts on social media sites, and survey data, for example).

I听created the MOOC, a freely-available online course, exploring children's visual culture in picturebooks, comics, television and film with Dr Cl茅mentine Beauvais in 2018. It has had over 15,000 participants in four years, with above average retention. I also enjoy researching, teaching and disseminating my work internationally, in person, with extensive experience in East Asia.

I am a Senior Fellow of the UK鈥檚 Higher Education Academy (now Advance HE) with a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), a higher education teaching qualification, from the University of York in 2013. I am an experienced research supervisor (see PG section below for a list of my previous PhD students and my supervisory interests).听I was awarded UK Graduate Council for Education (UKGCE)-recognised research supervisor status in 2019.

I am interested in supervising PhDs on Shakespeare in Education in the UK and internationally, as well on the teaching of literature more generally in and beyond the UK, in and beyond the English-language environments. I engage with these topics in terms of policy, pedagogy, and their representation in popular culture and on social media. I work on these topics as they relate to various sectors: schools, higher education, further education, theatre and heritage education departments. As a researcher and the lead editor of the peer-reviewed journal Jeunesse: Young people, texts, cultures, I am interested in supervising PhDs on young adult literature. I am most interested supervising PhD projects where the theoretical/conceptual frameworks and research methods are drawn from literary criticism, critical theory, cultural studies, literary, content and discourse analysis. N.b. These are not funded PhD opportunities.

Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn goruchwylio doethuriaethau ar Shakespeare mewn Addysg yn y DU ac yn rhyngwladol, yn ogystal 芒 dysgu llenyddiaeth yn fwy cyffredinol yn y DU a thu hwnt, yn y byd iaith Saesneg a thu hwnt. Mae gen i ddiddordeb yn y pynciau hyn o ran polisi, addysgeg, a sut y c芒nt eu cynrychioli mewn diwylliant poblogaidd ac ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Mae gen i ddiddordeb yn y pynciau hyn gan eu bod yn ymwneud ag amrywiol sectorau: ysgolion, addysg uwch, addysg bellach ac adrannau addysg theatr a threftadaeth. Fel ymchwilydd a phrif olygydd y cyfnodolyn a adolygir gan gymheiriaid Jeunesse: Young people, texts, cultures, mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn goruchwylio doethuriaethau ar lenyddiaeth plant, yn enwedig llenyddiaeth gothig i oedolion ifanc. Mae fy niddordeb mwyaf mewn goruchwylio projectau doethuriaeth lle mae'r fframweithiau damcaniaethol/cysyniadol a'r dulliau ymchwil yn tarddu o feirniadaeth lenyddol, theori feirniadol, astudiaethau diwylliannol, a dadansoddi llenyddiaeth, cynnwys a disgwrs. Sylwer: Nid yw'r rhain yn gyfleoedd PhD a ariennir. Er mwyn rhoi syniad i ddarpar ymgeiswyr o'r mathau o brojectau doethuriaeth rwy'n eu goruchwylio, dyma rai o'r ymgeiswyr y b没m yn gweithio gyda nhw yn y gorffennol (ym Mhrifysgol Efrog): * Daniel XERRI. Goruchwyliwr arweiniol gyda Dr Nicholas McGuinn. Pasiwyd heb gywiriadau. Ionawr 2016. Barddoniaeth ym Malta. * Chelsea SELLARS. (n茅e Swift). Goruchwyliwr. Pasiwyd gyda m芒n gywiriadau.

  • This impact project comes out of an underpinning research programme which explores popular Young Adult vampire fiction, such as Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, using textual studies approaches combined with feminist media effects theory, to consider Meyer鈥檚 representations of sexual and gendered violence in teenage romantic and/or sexual relationships.This project is underpinned by the power of fictional representations to positively impact readers鈥� lived experiences of being in relationships; to promote those that are consensual and non-violent; to positively influence readers鈥� deeply-ingrained attitudes, identities, behaviours and psychological work.
