<DIV>Attached are the winter 2008 seminar schedule and course descriptions
for the department of English. Their department's policy is that
all seminar enrollments must first be approved by the English department's
faculty graduate advisor, Professor Joseph Childers.<BR><BR>Please do NOT send
your preferences to Professor Steve Axelrod. Send them
directly to Professor Childers.<BR><BR>Once permission is granted by Professor
Childers, students may sign up through GROWL during the winter '08
pre-registration period beginning Monday, November 5.<BR><BR>When a student is
given permission to enroll in a seminar, their place is reserved, therefore, we
ask that any student who CHANGES their mind and no longer wishes to enroll in
the seminar -- once they have been given permission to enroll -- to please
notify Professor Childers so he can then make that slot available to another
student.<BR><BR>While priority must be given to English graduate students, we
recognize the need and interest of graduate students outside our department, and
in that spirit, we are happy to notify interested graduates tudents of the
remaining seminar spaces if they will send their seminar preference email to
Professor Childers in part II, listed below.<BR><BR>If you would like anyone
added to or deleted from this quarterly email, please email me directly at <A

you.<BR><BR>Tina Feldmann<BR><BR>NOTE: The seminar preference form
