At this year’s Academic Assembly for the Class of 2023, the first session of LIterature Humanities was held for the entire first-year class.  While students were in the process of reading their very first Core text, The Iliad,  Stalnaker addressed the question of how to think about a canon and the many voices that can engage with a canon, referring to two assigned texts: Chapter III of A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf and “Unspeakable Things Unspoken” by Toni Morrison.
