Our emphasis will be on the practical: how to develop effective syllabi; how to foster diversity, equity, and accessibility; how to teach in virtual as well as in-person environments; how to teach a variety of genres; how to lead a discussion; how to navigate difficult conversations with students; how to bounce back from the pedagogical missteps all of us invariably make. Together, we will 1) develop persuasive and powerful ways of describing precisely what we do as teachers of literary and cultural studies, as well as why and how we do it; 2) articulate flexible criteria for designing effective syllabi and assignments for different kinds of courses and texts; and 3) practice teaching in front of one another. By the end of the semester, students will have drafted a teaching portfolio suitable as a template for future opportunities (job or fellowship materials, for example). Whenever possible, specific topics and activities will be shaped by the interests of the actual students enrolled in the given semester at hand (in other words, expect to have significant input into what is covered). Graduate students from departments other than English who wish to take this class must receive advance written permission of instructor. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
