Panning for Gold: Tips and Strategies for reading and teaching G.K. Chesterton

With over 20 years of teaching experience introducing students to G.K. Chesterton through his seminal work Orthodoxy, Matthew Dominguez offers some of his tried-and-true suggestions and metaphors for diving into the lavish complexity of Chesterton’s works. Whether you are hoping to dive deeper into Chesterton or looking for tools to help others dive in for the first time, join us as we revel in Chesterton’s witty wisdom, incisive insight, and paradoxical profundity. A portion of this session is designed to be collaborative; please be sure to bring your favorite Chesterton quotes and reading insights to share with the group.

“There are an infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands.” -G.K. Chesterton
