This video features Deborah Nord, Woodrow Wilson Professor of Literature at Princeton University, and Melinda Zook, Germaine Seelye Oesterle Professor of History at Purdue University, on how they teach Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein to students concentrating in STEM on Thursday, March 31, 2022.
This session is part of a workshop series on what can be done to strengthen general education--as students move into STEM, business, health, and other pre-professional fields--to ensure that college students, whatever their major or background, encounter inspiring works of literature and philosophy and grasp the power of the humanities and its relevance to their professional aspirations.
