Q2S Enhancing Pedagogy

Approaches that I consider to teaching English 2180: the Function of Stories, include:

1) Legal Argumentation as Story-telling: the role of stories in jurisprudence

2) Philosophical explorations into cognitive and affective benefits from fiction

3) Socio-historical arguments about the rise of the novel

4) Fiction as cautionary tales for maturing adolescents

5) Psychological benefits: storytelling as a source of analogues for subjective experience
