The interview was part of GPB’s “Lessons from Left Field” series that examines “unconventional classes at schools and universities around the state.”
In the introductory course, students learned how to apply a critical eye towards the reading of race, class, nation, and gender in works of fiction, poetry, and drama.

Students聽applied their analysis of narrative tribalism to real-life immigrant and multicultural stories found in the lives of Atlantans who embody the idea of a 鈥淣ew South鈥�.
