Episode 2: Maximizing Your Syllabus

Please note: this episode was recorded a few weeks ago, before the murders of George Floyd and 11 protesters. We are horrified by yet another incident of racist and systemic violence against Black Americans. We know that this is not an isolated incident and we grieve with and for our colleagues, friends, and communities who are constantly burdened by the weight and terror of perpetual injustice. We also know that classrooms are not exempt from racial and racist biases and our own students often face microaggressions and overt racism on campus which impacts their well-being. We plan to discuss this in future episodes of the podcast, but in the meantime, we are donating our time, energy, and resources to our communities to try to help today.


In this episode, we talk about the top questions you may face when building your syllabus for a literature course. We cover tips for beginnings, new approaches for old hats, and resources for all! In our conversation today, we specifically tackle narrowing your focus, grounding your materials in course objectives, and selecting texts to create an effective literature course! And after you finish listening, feel free to join in the conversation by sending us an email at literaturelypodcast@gmail.com.
