Greetings and Seasonal Salutations, Readers,
As the holidays rapidly approach, currently commence, or in some cases, recently close, the graduate students who staff this e-pub are taking some time to write our end of semester papers, grade student work, and share the season with friends and family.
We’ve had a great school year so far, with a series of fantastic contributions. In September, Wil Marple discussed his pedagogical process and the struggles inherent in teaching mastery while still encouraging discovery. October brought us Ray Osborn who addressed timely concerns with powerful language in her poems, including the #MeToo movement, the connections between religion, race, and oppression, and the marginalization of non-neurotypical peoples. Evan Hixon rounded out the year with his November series on the powers of rhetoric in the hands of ill-intentioned leadership and the ways that early modern fears about rumor manifest in our current moment through viral internet stories. If you’ve missed any of these exciting thinkers while they were on tap, you can access their work at any time through their author pages.
We wish you all the best this holiday season, readers. Relax, recharge, and come back hungry to learn again in January!
