Month: August 2016

Our class will make occasional use of non-print texts. The first of these will be a listening assignment, due Wednesday September 7th.

(Total listening time will be about 90 minutes.)

Please listen to the first three episodes of “The Uncertain Hour,” a podcast by Marketplace. It can be found following the link below:

The episode titles are as follows:

1. “The Magic Bureaucrat”
2. “White Gloves, Aluminum Cans and Plasma”
3. “What’s love (styles) got to do with it?”

 

The first reading assignment for the course can be found below. Remember, I expect you to read all of the material before class and to bring a paper copy of the reading with you.

For Thursday 08/30, please read:

Three Anansi Stories

The Masks of God
