Abstract

Spring 2020 was the strangest term ever, even before the COVID pandemic sent us all home. Perhaps it started with the room layout—gone was the familiar rectangular grid, side-to-side rows and front-to-back columns, the centered lectern a secular pulpit, focus of all eyes. No stage for the sage;the once-regimented pupils freed from unified subordination. Classrooms in spanking-new “Champions Hall” feature scattered round tables: “café seating,” they call it. Maybe my disorientation originates here. Where to position myself, and how address a group sectioned into circular trios and foursomes? Am I a teacher or a waiter? “Good morning, I’m Professor X, here’s a syllabus, I’ll be taking care of you today.” © 2022,University of Missouri. All rights reserved.

女性学期:阅读格蕾丝·佩利的《隔离

2020年春天是有史以来最奇怪的一个词，甚至在COVID大流行将我们所有人送回家之前。也许这是从房间的布局开始的——不再是熟悉的矩形网格，从一边到另一边的一排排，从前面到后面的柱子，中间的讲台是一个世俗的讲坛，是所有人目光的焦点。没有圣人的舞台;曾经严格管制的学生从统一的从属地位中解放出来。在崭新的“冠军大厅”里，教室里有分散的圆桌:他们称之为“咖啡座位”。也许我的迷失方向是从这里开始的。如何定位自己，如何称呼一个分成三重奏和四人组的群体?我是老师还是服务员?“早上好，我是X教授，这是教学大纲，今天由我来教你们。©2022，密苏里大学。版权所有。

期刊介绍： The Missouri Review is a not-for-profit organization made possible in part by the generous support of readers and donors. We have helped shape the contemporary literary scene by offering the finest work of today’s most important writers and by discovering the brightest new voices in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Our mission is aided by one of the most established and sophisticated internship programs in the country. Each semester we mentor more than twenty undergraduate and graduate interns, many of whom go on to become editors in academia and the commercial publishing world. We believe this mission is as vital today as it was when the Missouri Review first began in 1978. And we would not be able to achieve these goals without the gifts and dedication we have received from individuals who appreciate and understand the importance of literature in our world.
