@drcbs_ I assigned topical and challenging work this semester and noticed the same thing. When I asked them about it, they said it was heavy. Not sure the level you're teaching but I realized my students are teens (17-18) and need space to process emotionally before intellectually.

Excited to kick off Isle of Intellectuals tomorrow🌴📚
A seminar inviting students to think as intellectuals—critically, creatively, grounded—in our times of anti-intellectualism. It's inspired by @agardjones who taught a course by this title, itself coined by @lugicast.

Octavia Butler was right about the place. She was right about the year. She even predicted the type of climate catastrophe that would hit LA.
