Episode 1: What Happens in a Literature Classroom

Join us as we talk about common myths about literature courses, our goals when teaching lit, and how we get comfortable with ambiguity. We share our perspectives on the role literature plays as a cultural artifact to help students better examine the connection between individual and community, trace the gradual changes in a community's values, and improve their critical thinking skills. This is our overview of the purpose of teaching literature in the 21st century!
