Conference Paper Description

This paper examines and critiques current literary practices in the secondary classroom through an interdisciplinary lens that knits together research from the fields of neuroscience, literary theory, philosophy, and critical theory. Through an exploration of the potential of the aesthetic to transform reader behaviors and attitudes, this work begins to build the rationale for a new literary canon and social justice–oriented pedagogy in the US education system.
