Equitable Teaching in the Humanities: Centering the Margins – Questioning the Canon

Event Description

In this Virtual Conversation, we’ll explore the role of and some alternatives to canonical works. We’ll discuss the assumptions underlying the concept of canon, and the pros and cons of teaching it to undergraduate students new to our field. Finally, we’ll work together to brainstorm some ways to incorporate classical works while inviting students to explore them from a fresh perspective.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Elina Salminen, Assistant Director for Educational Development.
