@ETreharne in Q&A notes 1 huge problem of the survey course -- there is only so much we can cram into 10-week or 15-week courses.
(Hearing someone senior admit this is important to me. When I teach a survey, or MDVL101, I grieve/feel guilty for what I can't cover) #MLA18 #s398

in Q&A someone in the audience notes that I'm not the only one who feels bad about this (of course, his comment isn't about me, but you get what I mean) describes how some of his students also keenly feel the absence of their own prehistories/languages/voices

Replying to @BridgetWhearty @ETreharne
#MLA18#s398, so then how are ppl decolonizing this survey and possibly the issues in decolonizing anthologies? Walter Mignolo, Ania Loomba, other scholars have discussed this. Why does the North Atlantic disappear Jewish, Inuit, and North Atlantic Native bodies?1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes -
The course in the panel title is "Brit Lit Survey." We could talk about reconfiguring to outside the British Isles, but that would be a whole different conversation we'd have to have within our departments first.

But British Lit is the literary production out of Britain. Not just in English since we are discussing Irish, Welsh, Norse, Cornish, so why no Hebrew?
