Reading all of this is so interesting for me on a personal level, as I think right out of the starting gate as a teacher I did a lot of this after having just majored in English Literature. For example, when reading Lord of the Flies, we spent considerable amount of time with Hobbes and Freud in my very first year—and then launched into the text with those lenses.

Now I'm wondering to myself: where did that go? I still dip my toe in this approach, but I'm reading this series and reimagining the entire curriculum, in a way, and it makes me very excited (and grateful) going forward. Sincere appreciation for what you're doing with this series! 🙏
