Join the Conversation! How do you select readings that will engage students and lead to lively discussion and writing, especially in this age of AI? In this 30-minute conversation, Kelly Mays will discuss how she tries to do just that in the new fifteenth edition of her book, The Norton Introduction to Literature. Join us for an insider's look at how she searches for diverse selections from today's most exciting voices that are teachable, inclusive, and help foster close reading and confident writing. She’ll also discuss the process of writing a new chapter, Writing with Generative AI. Bring your own questions for Kelly for a live Q&A following the 30-minute conversation.

Are you interested in new ways to teach with Norton Anthologies? Join this online event to hear from three professors on exciting approaches that have engaged their classrooms. Topics include: presenting works on environmental literature and climate change, encouraging students to go beyond what’s assigned, and using Norton’s thematic tables of contents to build syllabi and put texts in dialogue.
Each presenter will speak for five to ten minutes and will provide practical advice on how you can implement the same or similar approaches with your own students. There will be ample time for questions and the chat will be open for discussion.
All registrants will receive a recording of the event, so please register if you’re interested, even if you cannot attend live.
