highly recommendedReligious Studies Review; This collection invites us all to dwell in the monster classroom. Professors are challenged and changed with their students throughout this collection, and dwelling in such disruption of the goal of introducing monsters to our classrooms. Professors across disciplines in the humanities and some social sciences will find inspiration and practical suggestions for inviting monsters into their classrooms. The range of subject matter and perspective within the collection means that any teacher can find something worth taking away from this bookThe Comparatist; This book is in and of itself an example of another wonderful thing happening in education today...the 12 educators who wrote chapters for this book share a great deal of their research and many also include full syllabi with reading lists and assignments...they do this so other educators can use these ideas to encourage deeper engagement with students in their own classesPopMatters; [ The essays] usefully, insightfully, and often ingeniously, demonstrate how a wide range of existing theoretical work on monstrosity can be productively employed in a variety of classroom contexts.Sean Moreland, University of Ottawa; A strong collection that is truly pedagogical insofar as it provides concrete tools...syllabi, assignments, etc....for educators of all levels. It also folds in scholarship, as the two go hand-in-hand.Lisa Nevarez, Siena College.
