CCCU English Workshop - Professing Literature: Christian Engagement with Contemporary Literary Studies

Print | Email

Calvin College

July 6, 2009 - July 10, 2009

This workshop will be a collaborative effort to gain a better understanding of the pressing issues facing Christian professors of literature who desire to practice faithful pedagogy and scholarship during a time of significant soul searching in the discipline. We will address three basic questions:
  1. What is the current status of our discipline? What particular questions and challenges face us today in the profession of teaching and writing about literature?
  2. What are the key strengths and resources that Christian professors bring to these challenges?
  3. What theological resources and spiritual practices might help us become better Christian teacher-scholars?
This workshop will be led by Dr. Roger Lundin (Wheaton) and Dr. Susan Gallagher (Seattle Pacific), who will guide the participants through a common set of readings, conversations, and short papers. The primary format will be that of a seminar, with extensive readings, writing, and discussion.
