CulturedMy classroom welcomes and encourages diversity. We explore readings and ideas that span genre and time in order to become versed in both past and present cultures. This includes a focus on both American themes as well as worldly themes including: What is/was the American Dream? How have different cultures approached/solved conflict? What will your generation contribute to society? This exploration allows students to understand the world around them and allows them to develop and express their own values and ideas. In some of my production classes we take this notion a bit further and use research as a tool to examine popular culture and social norms. We then use these models in our own publications when applicable.
