Research in Teaching
The HRC has developed a new program to integrate research and teaching programs into undergraduate curricula. This program supports events that bring research into the classroom, innovate pedagogy, or combine research and teaching in unexpected ways.
English 400 : Shakespeare's Romances (Spring 2011)
Joseph Campana, Assistant Professor of English
These guests will demonstrate and discuss textual scholarship, Marxist criticism and new economic criticism, eco-criticism, source study, religious studies, gender studies, and the history of sexuality. In being exposed to these approaches through close contact with working scholars, students in this course will gain a deeper understanding of how research is conducted, how scholars define an archive of materials and select appropriate critical approaches, and how a scholarly project is conceived and carried out.
Each visiting scholar will present current research in a public brown-bag lunch, discussing articles, writing, publishing, archives, and research methods.

| Abstract: | Lesbian/gay history and transgender history have usually been written independent of, sometimes in explicit competition with, each other. Focusing first on a constellation of noteworthy events around 1950, this talk outlines the patterns that emerge if one tracks the combined history of same-sex and cross-gender in the United States from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century. |
