Workshop with Amelia Worsley
Teaching Poetry Today
Join us for a conversation about the challenges and pleasures of teaching the study of poetry -- whether in a freshman writing course or in an upper-level literature seminar. Professor Worsley will reflect on her experience teaching poetry as a graduate student and now as a professor, and discuss the relationship between her teaching and larger research interests. And together, we'll take up topics from syllabus design to discussion leading to essay prompts. All interested faculty and graduate students are warmly welcome to attend. Coffee and pastries available. Please kindly RSVP using the link below.
