This essay articulates Amiri Baraka's relationship to humanist universalism through his work as a theatermaker, in particular through his play A Black Mass. Baraka's Black nationalist writings are infused with humanist assumptions despite the apparent contradiction between humanist universalism and nationalist separatism.

Lessons learned from educators of English as a second language in the U.S. during covid-19
Providing equitable education for emergent bilinguals (EBs) is an educational goal in the U.S. However, literature has reported that English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers feel marginalized, a reflection of the marginalized status of EBs in the K-12 public school settings. Using a multi-method approach, this case study explored to what extent ESL teachers’ marginalization challenges were exacerbated during COVID-19. We surveyed 37 primary sc…
The Possibility of Progress
In this wide-ranging interview, Bruce Robbins reflects on themes that have long been at the center of his work, including cosmopolitanism, the political functions of literature and of literary criticism, narratives, progress, feelings, morals, class politics in general and “middle-class politics” in particular, solidarity, anti-statism, how to measure a scholarly career, and more

An analysis of causal asyndetic constructions in United States history textbooks
Over the last three decades, an increased focus on engaging K-12 students in historical thinking has highlighted the importance of providing students with direct instruction regarding how causal relationships are formed in text. Many teachers provide this instruction by focusing on explicit causal structures, neglecting implicit forms of causation such as causal asyndetic constructions. Studies of United States history textbooks have found instan…

Reynolds Museum and Education Center at Mount Vernon illustrates this need for awareness, answering two questions: (1) Are Stephen Nathanson (Citation2002) and Joel West…
