Session Description:
Faculty members teaching lower-level composition, language, and literature courses look for innovative ways of integrating culture and cultural studies into these general education courses. Panelists representing perspectives from two- and four-year institutions will each give a brief presentation on what works for them in composition and literature courses before opening up discussion to attendees. This roundtable offers an opportunity for collegial dialogue.
