At the upcoming American Literature Association Conference in Boston (May 25-28, 2017), one of the Poe Studies Association’s panels will focus on Innovative Approaches to Teaching Poe.

Possible paper topics include pedagogy based on the use of online databases, adaptations of Poe’s works, connections to non-literary disciplines, reading non-gothic Poe texts, unusual writing assignments, group activities, social media, and classroom experiments.

This panel has been organized and will be chaired by PSA Member-at-large Cristina Pérez.

Send a 250-word abstract and a brief CV for papers on these or any other topic related to innovative strategies for teaching Poe to cristinaperez@g.harvard.edu by January 15, 2017. 

Please put “PSA ALA Panel 2017” in the subject line.
