I'm looking forward to reading these works. And I love the idea of teaching around the things that need to be uncovered! Thanks so much for the references, Anna.

In "Pedagogies of Uncertainty," Lee Shulman (Carnegie Institute) writes about forming habits for the disciplines and ensuring a timeless scaffold to offer "quality control" for disciplines with, like English, changing faces. I think his work might offer some interesting food for thought in terms of rethinking/reimagining research methodologies from a big-picture perspective. And Erik Meyer & Ray Land have written "Threshold Concepts and Troublesome Knowledge," which I think could offer an interesting avenue into thinking about (as you mention) what English students need to know/how they come to know it. (In class this past semester, Prof. Randy Bass, discussing Meyer & Land, quoted someone with a thoughtful way of framing M&L's argument in maxim: "Let's structure teaching not around the things that need be covered, but instead around the things that need to be uncovered.")
