WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY
“I see that an academic paper has more value and use than I thought, and that it isn’t as narrow a form as I thought … I was really moved and delighted by how terrific this experience was.” “Teaching the Academic Paper,” July 2011

It's been a few years since I've been to a Bard workshop. It's good to be reminded of what I value and why—good to have a chance to share and learn from others. I'm taking away lots to reflect on and think about. My teaching of this novel will be affected in many positive ways.
