Revolutionizing the English Classroom through Consciousness, Justice, and Self-Awareness
Lyschel Shipp
English Journal, v106 n4 p35-40 2017
The author argues that, by revolutionizing the literary canon, we are revolutionizing the English classroom, and urges us to shift from focusing exclusively on required texts to equally acknowledging the urgent need for consciousness and activism from our students.
