Who are we?
“IInnovación y docencia en estudios de literatura norteamericana” is a Teaching Innovation Group (GIDU) formed by lecturers and researchers in the field of North American Literature within the Department of English of the University of Zaragoza, including members of The Posthuman Wound: Subject and Agency in the North American Literature of the 21st Century and Literature Of(f) Limits: Pluriversal Cosmologies and Relational Identities in Present-day writing in English.
Built on years of collaborative teaching experience, the group combines research, pedagogy, and digital innovation to rethink the literature classroom in the context of the twenty-first century.
Our work is closely connected to current research on critical posthumanism, relationality, and the impact of emerging digital technologies — especially generative AI — on higher education. We understand learning as a dynamic and collaborative process shaped by the interaction between students, teachers, literary texts, and technological tools.
