Episode 13: Responding to Hurricanes and Natural Disasters in the Classroom

THE END IS NEAR! Wait, no, it's just the thirteenth episode of Literaturely! We are joined in this episode by Emilie Mears, an expert in eco-lit, to discuss the apocalypse. Or rather, to discuss literary works and natural disasters! This is a fun conversation jam-packed with considerations of what constitutes a disaster, examinations of apocalypse, creative assignments, and more. We chat about why we'd want to teach narratives about natural disasters, what we hope our students learn, and the ethics in environmental studies. What's the line between the natural, the unnatural, and the supernatural when investigating eco-lit? We'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, and questions! Share your experiences, questions, and comments with us on Twitter with @Literaturely101, on Instagram at LiteraturelyPodcast, or via email at LiteraturelyPodcast@gmail.com!

Om Podcasten

We are two friends who love teaching literature just as much as we love talking. Over the past five years or so, we have each taught a range of literature courses in a variety of contexts. Our experiences prompted us to think about what it means to teach literature in a twenty-first century classroom. In our podcast, we create a place to discuss literature pedagogy, consider the hurdles and concerns the majority of literature teachers will face, form a community to encourage collaboration, work through our own journey and questions, and share our general love for pedagogy. Let's craft our dream course together! Join in the conversation at our website: https://literaturely.wixsite.com/podcast
