Episode 9: Re-reading September 11th

In our ninth episode, Paige and Margaret discuss approaches for teaching literature about, courses focused on, and responses to 9/11. From thinking about collective trauma, national memorialization, and political narratives, we consider how to tackle sensitive issues in a literature class. We spend some time talking about the use of context, theory, trigger warnings, and perspective to help students critically engage an emotional moment. Have you taught 9/11 narratives in your literature course? Share your experiences, questions and resources with us at [email protected] or tweet us @Literaturely101.
