New Chaucer Studies: Pedagogy and Profession

This essay reflects on our experiences in directing four National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminars for K–12 teachers on The Canterbury Tales, and on the value of basing these Seminars in London. In light of the political pressures that led the NEH to require that Seminars now be conducted in the United States, we encourage our American colleagues to propose Chaucer Seminars at U.S. locations.
