anghraineTeaching is occasionally terrifying, because it’s like … I can just say things? And people are taking down notes?
Maybe it's because I was biting back my full opinions on psychoanalytic theory the whole time I was teaching it on Friday, but I didn't have to! It's a lot more glaring than when I taught 18th-century literature because I felt reasonably confident then. Like, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT!!! feels very different than navigating DOTA and reader-response etc.
[ETA 10/16/21: This was a fairly offhand post, but I increasingly feel that I'm not meant for teaching at all. MEH.]
