Introduction : Engaging with Work in Worlds of Change
(2021) p.1-17- Abstract
- In a globalized world, English Studies is in need of transformation. Serving as an introduction to the anthology, this chapter makes the case for an issue-based approach to English Studies where engagement is sought with fields beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. From the position that English Studies can be understood as a form of participatory action — where English Studies is brought into the world and the world is brought into English Studies — the chapter examines practices of work in contemporary society, and previews the volume’s contributions.
