Schedule for ENG 509, Decolonizing Dominant U.S. Narratives

For reference, I'll update this page so you know our course discussion schedule, and who our guest speakers may be. These things may change as the semester goes on, so check back frequently. 

If you've already taken the survey to sign up for being an audience member, you can always edit your responses. Email reminders with full zoom and other info will go out on Monday to all I'm expecting as audience members, so look for those if you've added yourself to a day. 

For the full details, you can see my original post on this.
