Episode 3: YA Novels in the College Classroom

Let's be honest: YA novels are rarely taken seriously by academics. Can there be a place for the YA novel within the ivory tower? We think so! Paige and Margaret chat about the purposes YA novels can serve for college literature, from engaging students more deeply to fulfilling course objectives to considering cultural evolutions and more! YA novels have so much pedagogical potential and serve important cultural functions. Join us as we unpack how we can better utilize them in the college classroom! We'd love to hear about your experiences and questions! Join the conversation on Twitter (@Literaturely101), Instagram (LiteraturelyPodcast), or email (literaturelypodcast@gmail.com).

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
