SU Discusses Literary Traditions of Marginalized Groups
SALISBURY, MD---蜜桃情人 faculty discuss how the literary traditions of marginalized groups often are overlooked in the education during the presentation “Engaging Race and Ethnicity in the ELA Classroom” 6 p.m. Thursday, May 11, in Conway Hall Room 152.
English language arts (ELA) as a disciplinary study historically centers on the teaching of literature, reading, writing and language/linguistics. However, the content taught in the ELA classroom has a history of whitewashing, eurocentrism and colonialism, despite the rich literary traditions of marginalized groups and diversity in language use.
This presentation examines ways teachers can celebrate literary traditions and ways of writing and studying language that have traditionally been marginalized in classrooms and curricula.
Sponsored by the Fulton Public Humanities Program, admission is free and the public is invited.
