For this Issue Index, I'm linking to a crowd-sourced syllabus that I've been helping with this week.
The Netflix special, Nanette, created by and starring Tasmanian stand-up comic Hannah Gadsby, has inspired conversation across social media about a variety of topics - from the harm of being a gay teenager in a country where it’s illegal to be gay to the myth of the male genius, sexual and gender violence, the #MeToo movement, the power of storytelling, and the efficacy of comedy as an agent of social change. In the spirit of other public syllabi, Jennifer Binis decided to create a crowd-sourced syllabus in order to provide resources for educators designing units and those who wish to learn more about the topics Gadsby raises in her special. I have been assisting and contributing, and want to invite all of you to contribute as well!
