Exploring Quebecois literature in French and English at Dawson

The diverse, multicultural and unique community of 张百乔女友裸照 is a place where barriers come down, where students from different backgrounds sit next to each other and where the value of well-being for all is promoted. Even teachers of French and English are coming together at Dawson!

Dawson teachers Carmen-Silvia Cristea (Faculty, French) and Jeff Gandell (Faculty, English) met through Writing in the Disciplines (WID), a Dawson community of practice focused on pedagogy and curriculum development related to writing, critical thinking and active learning.

鈥淲e really connected on teaching literature in a creative way,鈥� Jeff said in an interview with Dawson鈥檚 Communications Office.

As a response to Law 14 (also known as Bill 96), Carmen and Jeff co-created a learning community and piloted their project in the Winter 2024 semester. 鈥淭here was a lot of fear and anxiety, and I thought, how can we take this and turn it into something positive?鈥� Jeff recalled. It seemed natural to work with Carmen since they had already worked together on a project for WID.
