And I agree- the lens of am lit should de enter whiteness. I’m not sure how many classes do this though. Certainly good individual classes. But as a whole? I still get student evals that say- to much Black lit in this course. Supposed to be am lit. Yeah.

I get these same responses in my evals for Am lit courses as well. One said, "This isnt multicultural Am lit, its Am lit."

I see.Yes, thats how I teach Am lit. But not all faculty in our dept does this.Currently we hope they stumble into courses that do this instead of providing supportive structure in our program that decenters whiteness. My question about UofC was about program wide revisions.
