    I'm afraid your argument isn't very convincing. The innuendo and unverifiable (without me doing an inordinate amount of archival research) throughout are unconvincing. However, I will turn my...

    As a teenager I was greatly affected by Great Expectations, A Prayer for Owen Meanie, and The Left Hand of Darkness. I read most of Dostoevsky's major novels when I was 14 after picking up The Idiot...

    I think implicit in the line is the irony of "bouncing" being a pointless action without any inherent value, which juxtaposed with the line about the gold hats reinforces the frivolity of material...

    I think you've got the essence, which is do whatever you can to impress the girl. However, it's ironic given the outcome of the novel.

    According to international rankings, Canda's average high school student's reading and writing skills are apparently the best in the English and French speaking world (It has declined in recent years...

    I don't see the relevance of affirmative action to the topic, if I'm picking an author of colour for a purpose in a curriculum it is because their text is a superior example of what I want to teach....

    I think there's a substantial difference. If you approach the process of choosing the text with the goal that the course material be diverse and relevant not only to the interest of the students but...

    I was using the language of the post I replied to. I don't think it is about exclusion, of course cutting is necessary when we have limited space in a curriculum, but about making room for...

    I haven't updated my location in a while, I moved back from Asia 3 years ago.
  15. I think students taking a course in a foreign...

    I think students taking a course in a foreign language are beyond the scope or relevance of the conversation. I'm referring to my Canadian students of colour. Also, I don't think your point...

    I think that ignores the pedogogical purpose of the classroom and the context of the institution. I don't think students of colour expect Middle English lyrics to speak directly of their experience,...

    Decolonizing a classroom is not simply about cutting out white European males. Whether we like it or not our classrooms have changed. I look at my students in a first year survey class, very few of...

    It's a call back to one of the first letters where Parson Tickletext praises Pamela in hyperbolic terms, which was intended as a satire on the moralizing middle class reverends that promoted...

    I'm fairly familiar with the book because it formed part of my reading for my MA thesis, which was initially about Restoration libertinism but ended up being about prostitution narratives. If there's...

    I have access to a digital copy of this book through an academic database of Oxford UP publications. If there's a particular chapter you need I can copy paste it into a document and send it to you.
