Beyond Man Vs. Nature: Utilizing Book Clubs On Nature And Climate Change To Create Engaged Citizens Of The Anthropocene, Shannon Falkner, Ryan Skardal

New Jersey English Journal

In this article, we consider the following question: "What’s next for ELA? Over the next 10 years, how will our students change? How might we need to change?

"'Who’S There?' 'Nay, Answer Me. Stand And Unfold Yourself' : Attending To Students In Diversified Settings", Naomi C. Liebler

Department of English Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
