We invite the submission of sample course syllabi, assignments, and short reflections on a “teachable moment”—a passage, a conflict, a scene, a pattern of meaning, or a character—from a novel. Submissions should be sent to one of the Affiliate Website Editors listed below.  Short, 500-word narrative descriptions could focus on any one of the following:       

  • The significance of an individual novel or novelist for teaching a particular area of literary studies
  • Your own experience teaching this novel, and the challenges and opportunities it raises
  • Pedagogical issues surrounding the teaching of this text
  • Specific activities or exercises, discussion questions, or innovative projects
  • A list of bibliographic resources for teaching this novel
