Abstract:
Ideological transparency is an issue in core literature classes, particularly where teachers understand literature as social critique. This article argues that the critical and prosocial growth we hope students will achieve in a semester with us requires a longer and more incremental process, one in which literature courses have a limited but potentially meaningful role.
