"Working Class into the Curriculum" A special workshop sponsored
by Group for the Study of Working Class Life and CELT.
What are the links between our students' writing and their
consciousness of class difference? How do we use discussion of
work/jobs as a route to class analysis?
Professor Janet Zandy, a nationally respected scholar and
practioner of working-class pedagogy, will present a model essay
that links photography, personal memory, commentary on Workers
Memorial Day (April 28 )and literary analysis about
representations of the physicality of labor. One of the hardest
things student writers face is synthesizing material. This essay
approach demonstrates a way to link the personal with the
historical and with cultural representations.
This workshop will be held at CELT, Melville Library E1337 on
Thursday, April 26th, from 1:00 - 2:30. To register please go to
