Andrew Newman

I've been teaching at Stony Brook since 2005. My first two books are at the intersection of early American, indigenous, and media studies. I'm working on a third book, a cultural history of the teaching and learning of the most frequently-assigned books in American high schools. Relatedly, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, I am co-directing a 2023 Summer Institute for Teachers, "Making the Good Reader and Citizen: A History of Literature Instruction at American Schools."

I regularly teach courses on all these topics.
