This event will explore the ways in which Romanticism is taught in Higher
Education Institutions in the UK. It will assess how far changes in
research methodologies have filtered down to the teaching of Romanticism in
Universities.
* Are Romanticism modules now predominantly taught historically, and
if they are, is this a different approach to that taken in other modules?
* How far has teaching in this subject taken account of work done to
enlarge our understanding of Romantic literature and culture, specifically
on female and black writers, issues of slavery and colonialism, travel
writing and drama, science and medicine?
It is also open to other questions concerning the teaching of Romanticism:
* What effect have broader pedagogical debates had on teaching?
* How have electronic resources affected the way the modules are
delivered or how students learn?
Such questions will be addressed in papers given at the event and through
an analysis of the results of an electronic questionnaire sent to convenors
of Romanticism modules throughout the country.
Papers are welcomed on any issue related to teaching Romanticism. Proposals
for topic should be sent to the organiser, Sharon Ruston
<[log in to unmask]> by 15 January 2006.
Participants are encouraged to present examples of innovative or successful
practice, or discussions of the particular problems of teaching the
subject. We welcome a variety of presentational formats and panel sessions
may be proposed involving more than one speaker. The questionnaire results
will be sent to event participants at the beginning of March.
