Subjects and Citizens: Nation, Race, and Gender from Oroonoko to Anita Hill

Student seminar papers will help guide the discussion and students should feel that they are getting good feedback from the seminar members about the strengths and weaknesses of their papers. We also need to find the right balance between focusing on the student papers and focusing on other interesting aspects of the works read that are not developed in the particular student papers written for that week. My role as instructor is not to lead discussion but to moderate it. It is the responsibility of all members of the seminar to make sure that we have an atmosphere with the right mix of friendliness and criticism, seriousness and humor.

Certain computer skills involving email, class folders, Tripod and Wilson Search, the Web, and the Nexis database will be necessary. Via email you will often get students' discussion questions on the reading and should study and maybe print these before seminar. The English folder on the Classes server on the network will be used for getting seminar papers and other materials to read ahead of time this should mean that you can read and print seminar papers from any computer on the campus network. The English page on the Web will have the syllabus and other supplemental reading materials the general bibliography for the seminar.

This Page will also have Web site connections relevant for the seminar, some serious, others for fun. You should make a "bookmark" link to this Page from the Web browser that you use.

Southern States --Social conditions. Clayton concedes that Cash has dated in many ways but argues for his continuing relevance: Jones gives a brilliant comparison between Cash and the Italian Marxist theorist Gramsci, comparing Gramsci's notion of "hegemony" with Cash's analysis of Southern compensatory illusions or 'savage ideals'; she also gives a feminist critique of Cash. Essays by Prenshaw and Davis are in my opinion especially useful for us. Prenshaw looks at nineteenth-century ideal of the 'Southern' lady and contrasts twentieth-century responses to it by male vs.

Note especially the role she stresses for paired female heroines. How useful are her ideas for thinking about Welty and Taylor? Davis' essay is a fine overview of 19th- and 20th-century white and black women writers. You're welcome to browse through other essays in this volume that interest you too.

Yet when students in practically every discipline invented academic uses for their music players, suddenly the idea could be seen in a new light-as an innovative way to turn learning on its head. This radical experiment is at the heart of Davidson's inspiring new book. Using cutting-edge research on the brain, she shows how "attention blindness" has produced one of our society's greatest challenges: Davidson introduces us to visionaries whose groundbreaking ideas-from schools with curriculums built around video games to companies that train workers using virtual environments-will open the doors to new ways of working and learning.

A lively hybrid of Thomas Friedman and Norman Doidge, Now You See It is a refreshingly optimistic argument for a bold embrace of our connected, collaborative future. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an guilty vote.
