This collection makes available a rich and multi-dimensional pedagogy for the “messy” art and “risky business” of reading in the college setting. Faculty teaching online or in person, across first year courses and into the disciplines—particularly in the sciences and mathematics—will find the ideas and attitudes modeled here extremely valuable for addressing students from diverse backgrounds as active and intelligent learners. I urge college teachers to read and learn from the authors’ wise stories.
