Literary Studies as Pedagogy

This paper explores the transformative impact of new technologies on the field of literary studies, advocating for a shift from static reading to dynamic knowledge-making in educational settings. By leveraging digital tools, such as multimedia iBooks and interactive projects, we can foster collective intelligence and enhance student engagement. The discussion emphasizes the need for active collaboration, cross-institutional networks, and community connections to promote a more vibrant learning environment. In doing so, we aim to redefine traditional paradigms of expertise and accessibility in literary education.
