Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay is a co-written reflection by two educators on a plenary workshop we led together called “Remixing New Romanticisms: A Workshop on Anti-racist Teaching” during the 2022 NASSR/BARS Conference. We presented on the teaching resource we developed as inaugural fellows of the 2021–2022 Keats-Shelley Association of America/Romantic Circles Anti-Racist Pedagogy Colloquium. First, we explain how we adapted Nicole N. Aljoe, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon, Benjamin J. Doyle, and Elizabeth Hopwood's theory of “remixing” to design constellations that re-envision Romantic concepts such as Revolution and Rebellion, Nature and Ecology, and Imagination through the curation of innovative archival materials. We then discuss a specific example of remixing that we covered in depth, our Q and A session with workshop participants, and an anti-racist teaching resource they created. In addition, we explore other anti-racist pedagogies mentioned during the workshop, among them teaching with tension, valuing student knowledge, and critical fabulation. We frame these concerns within a broader consideration of the need to reconstruct the traditional forms of knowledge that shape our disciplines so that they are more inclusive and accessible for everyone, especially students.
期刊介绍:
The European Romantic Review publishes innovative scholarship on the literature and culture of Europe, Great Britain and the Americas during the period 1760-1840. Topics range from the scientific and psychological interests of German and English authors through the political and social reverberations of the French Revolution to the philosophical and ecological implications of Anglo-American nature writing. Selected papers from the annual conference of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism appear in one of the five issues published each year.
