****************************************************************

Please join the Rutgers Book Initiative at a virtual roundtable on tactile
teaching:

*Touch / teach: studying books in an unfinished pandemic*
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sites.rutgers.edu/ru-book-initiative/event/touch-teach-studying-books-in-an-unfinished-pandemic/__;!!GekbXoL5ynDpFgM!BfketrqBfQ912gcW8BeZsxfPgUvEGW-V_u28qBnZQvdCC901gWKHoumbhcyLcckB42H6$)

(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/sites.rutgers.edu/ru-book-initiative/event/touch-teach-studying-books-in-an-unfinished-pandemic/__;!!GekbXoL5ynDpFgM!BfketrqBfQ912gcW8BeZsxfPgUvEGW-V_u28qBnZQvdCC901gWKHoumbhcyLcckB42H6$)

What ways of teaching have we invented or reinvented after a year of
hands-off reading (for those of us lucky enough to be working or learning
remotely) and hand-to-hand transmission (for those essential workers who
packed, trucked, sold or lent books)? How has the reading, making,
repurposing, circulating and banning of books shaped and responded to
police violence and border crises? What pedagogical genres (discussion
prompt, field trip, kit, handout, questionnaire, network, reading-list…)
are worth experimenting with at a time of precarious labor and
environmental devastation?

Speakers:

· Matthew Kirschenbaum (Professor of English and Digital Studies,
University of Maryland)

· Kari Kraus (Associate Professor in the College of Information
Studies and the Department of English, University of Maryland)

· Priyasha Mukhopadhyay (Assistant Professor of English, Yale)

· Jonathan Senchyne (Associate Professor of Book History and Print
Culture, University of Wisconsin-Madison)

Time: 18 November, 4-6pm
Location: online, open to the public.
