Teaching a "New Canon"? Students, Teachers, and Texts in the College Literature Classroom

Editor(s): Bruce A. Goebel, James C. Hall

In Teaching a "New Canon"? contributors from a wide range of institutions reflect on the impact of cultural diversity on the teaching process, on the teachers, and on the students. This collection of essays focuses on identifying a practical pedagogy that will serve a dynamic student population and rapidly changing reading lists. At the same time, though, this book addresses some of the inherent theoretical complexities of this paradigm shift. Contributors evaluate the adaptability of portfolios, team-teaching, theme-based units, alternative assessments, and writing assignments as potential strategies to be employed in "dealing with difference" in the literature classroom.
