Announcing a NEW literature course, a humanities elective, for Spring Semester 2010. Deborah Dusek and Karen Chobot will be teaching a class that centers on literature that falls outside the established, mainstream literature. We'll look at genres such as Detective Fiction, Science Fiction, regional literature, graphic novels of many forms, and others. We'll examine short stories, plays, poems, non-fiction and others. And there will be some interesting projects for groups and individuals.
The class meets Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 - 9:50 am.
