This project explores the role of poetry in education, with special emphasis on the didactic and mnemonic potential of verse, making a comparative study between pedagogical practices in Ireland and Sweden. In light of critical theories of literacy, where focus is given to cultural and ideological assumptions that underwrite texts, the project will study the teaching of poetry in relation to issues such as gender, national and cultural identity and ethnicity.
