I taught a new 200-level undergrad history course this semester, Decolonization. I wanted to do something different, in many ways, as would befit the topic. No lectures, discussion-only. It went pretty well. It helped that I picked some great readings (Thread 1/ ) Starting us off on the first day was @BlackOutdoors1's essay “Naming a Frog After Led Zeppelin is Not a Fairy Tale,” which generated a very lively discussion - a good start to the semester! 2/ niche-canada.org/2021/07/07/nam…
