Prof.s Jackson, Fuller, Hildebidle, and Tapscott will develop and pilot a substantially re-designed, collaborative, and expanded version of the CI-H subject 21L.004 (Reading Poetry). They hope by increasing the profile of 21L.004 to: 1) to expose students to different voices from within the Literature Faculty and elsewhere; 2) to strengthen the status of the course as a gateway to more advanced literary study; and 3) to provide students with a solid introductory subject for work in humanistic fields that more broadly emphasize the development of skills in critical thinking and analytical prose writing.
