HILT Speaker Series

Learn about a program for education professionals to employ close reading and critical thinking skills by making art based on challenging texts. The pleasures of creative interpretation fuel admiration for difference among participants from diverse racial, cultural, and gender positions. Pre-Texts facilitators will share examples of remarkable learning outcomes, unique ways of evaluating students, and time-saving strategies for preparing lessons and reaching objectives. With ample time for discussion, instructors can explore ways to introduce this pedagogy into various disciplines and curricula.
