Assessments

Overview

These assessments use innovative pedagogical approaches that are antiracist, antiableist and anticolonialist in content and/or form. While they feature a Victorian-era component, they can be adapted for a variety of teaching contexts. We offer these assessments in an effort to help us reimagine a Victorian Studies that empowers students through different forms of critical and creative engagement.
