Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Grounded in Hahn's long engagement with teaching in a range of settings, Arousing Sense demonstrates a deep commitment to radical pedagogy, which is apparent in the accessibility, generosity, and care of her offerings. These recipes take seriously the well-being of both teacher and student, with exercises framed in terms of their ease, adaptability, and potency for generative, transformational experience." --Composition Studies
"A wonderful collection of recipes for workshopping sensory experience, to be realized sometimes by individuals, often through group interaction. The recipes will be useful to leaders in any arts area; in teaching of writing, not just creative writing but also composition; in working with any group where an exploratory, collaborative, fun atmosphere is desirable; as well as in the specific ethnographic application that Hahn emphasizes."--Fred Everett Maus, coeditor of Oxford Handbook of Music and Queerness
