You will read -- on the average a book -- a week, write a meditation of about 4-5 pages each week, and do some kind of hands-on "teaching" every week as well. There is no "research paper" per se; the meditations and the practices will hopefully generate some ideas that you can use for scholarship (or not), further writing, and further teaching. Students from creative departments such as Creative Writing, Dance, Theater and Art are very welcome as are any grad students in the Humanities concerned with contemporary issues of "andragogy" -- the teaching of adults. Some of the texts that we'll be working with are: Neil Postman, TEACHING AS A SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY, David Damrosch WHAT IS WORLD LITERATURE, bell hooks PEDAGOGY OF HOPE, and my de rigueur twin- "bibles" Bill Readings, THE UNIVERSITY IN RUINS and Stanley Aronowitz, AGAINST SCHOOLING.<br><div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; "><hr tabindex="-1"><div id="divRpF734754" style="direction: ltr; "><font color="#000000" face="Tahoma" size="2"><b>From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Nicole A Bogner.<br><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Monday, January 30, 2012 1:55 PM<br><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Stephanie Hammer<br><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>CPLT 222 Description<br></font><br></div><div></div><div><div class="WordSection1"><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Dear Stephanie,<br><br>Can you please provide a description of your CPLT 222 course for spring?
