Congrats Prof. Barclay Barrios on 5th Edition of Emerging!

Congratulations to Barclay Barrios (Professor of English and Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies) on publication of the 5th edition of Emerging: Contemporary Readings for Writers.

According to Emerging's page at Macmillan:

The range of topics and connections among essays is very appealing for socially minded and social-justice-oriented students.

~ Ruth Knezevich, Hamline University

Emerging helps cultivate precisely the kind of careful, critical reading so many faculty complain students cannot do these days.

~ Michael J. Cripps, University of New England

Emerging continues to be a trusted resource I can turn to for relevant, accessible readings, smart frameworks and creative assignment ideas.

~ Wendy W. Hinshaw, Florida Atlantic University

And on Twitter:

My favorite part of the new edition of Emerging has to be, hands down, the excellent new readings selected by Barclay. Not to be missed are Valeria Luiselli's 'Border,' Tobias Rees·s 'From the Anthropocene to the Microbiocene,' and Esme Weijun Wang's 'High-Functioning.' Students are encouraged to engage with, think critically about, and synthesize ideas from these readings in assignment sequences such as 'How do we address systemic racism?' and, a favorite of mine, 'What does it mean to be mentally healthy in a complex world?

~ Cari Goldfine, Associate Editor Readers and Literature
