Teaching Jane Austen through Public Humanities: The Jane Austen Summer Program (original) (raw)

The Routledge Companion to Jane Austen, 2021

Abstract

In this essay, Inger S. B. Brodey, Anne Fertig, and Sarah Schaefer Walton study the dialogue and productive discourse fostered among scholars, teachers, and Austen enthusiasts in the summer program founded in 2013. Austen’s omnipresence and cultural capital, they argue, are strengths rather than liabilities for a public humanities enterprise, blending as it does scholarly discourse and hands-on experiences within a social environment that brings together multiple audiences and ages. Their essay provides substantial detail on how the programming has been structured to foster education advocacy and achieve its wide-ranging goals.
