Description

This roundtable will bring together a group of experienced scholars and educators who use Marie in innovative ways in the French, English, and History classrooms. Topics will include teaching through performance, teaching through translation, reading beyond the text, selecting texts to teach, and new approaches to Marie de France. Attendees will leave with ideas to add to or revitalize their current teaching practices. Roundtable participants will be asked to transform their presentations into full length articles, which will then be featured in a special teaching volume of Le Cygne, the society's journal.
