Ep. 7 - Which Texts & Why?

In episode seven, Mason and Monica welcome back colleague Andrew Gibbs for a deep dive into the texts they’ve chosen to use throughout The English 101 Experiment.

MEET ANDREW

Andrew Gibbs learned to walk in the hills and hollows of Tennessee where he was born and taught by his parents to read, write, and recycle.  An early appreciation for nature paired well with formative years as a scholar where the works of transcendental writers inspired longer treks in the woods and further studies in English literature.  With degrees from the University of Tennessee and the University of New Orleans, today Andrew is an Assistant Professor of English at Delgado Community College.  Free-spirited, open-minded, and especially adept at finding the comedy in a situation, critics could still say he’s a traditionalist where it matters most, for he loves his wife, spoils his dog, and prefers his oysters on the half shell.
