Literature (Un)Bound
from The English 101 Experiment
In this episode of The English 101 Experiment, colleague Andrew Gibbs joins Mason and Monica to explore the role of literature in the composition classroom. Drawing on scholarship from Jessica Lindemann, Gary Tate, and Kate Chanock, we debate the value and challenges of integrating literature into writing instruction and, through a discussion of Langston Hughes' "Thank you, Ma'am," investigate how literature can foster students' growth as writers—and individuals—by promoting belonging, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of academic writing conventions.
