Syllabi Alert!

It's been a while since I shared my syllabi here, so without further ado, here are my syllabi since my sabbatical in AY 2021-2022:

• American Identities (Fall 2023)
• Critical Reading (Spring 2024)
• Fantasy Fiction (Spring 2024)
• Introduction to Literary Studies (Fall 2022 and Spring 2023)
• Major Authors: Hawthorne after Morrison (Fall 2023)
• Science Fiction (Fall 2022)
• Survey of American Literature (Spring 2023)

This will be my last semester of my second one-year term as chair of the Fredonia University Senate, so I'll return to a full teaching load in Fall 2024 for the first time since Spring 2015 (I was chair of the Fredonia English Department for two three-year terms from Fall 2015-Spring 2021).  See my c.v. for all the details....

Fredonia's Got Talent!

My students in Fantasy Fiction and Novels and Tales did some amazing work throughout the semester, and particularly at the end.  Unfortunately, most of them chose not to do web authoring projects, so I can't share their work here.  Fortunately, a good number did; here are links to their work:

• Alexandra Atseff, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:  Book to Film [blog]
• Aubrey Cunningham, Fantasy Fiction [blog]
• Halie Degnan, Alternate Worlds [web site]
• Paige Jones, Fairy Tale Seamstress [blog on making of fairy tale dress for character in her fairy tale revision of Beauty and the Beast]
• Jessica Krajacic and Skylar Pratt, Fantasy Fiction and the Harry Potter Generation [blog]
• Kyle Roof, Harry Potter vs. LotR vs. GoT--Fantasy Fiction Club [live-action on youtube]
• Rhiannon Vercant, A Neapolitan Cinderella in Oz [animation on vimeo]
• Ashley Weinheimer, History of Magic School [blog]
• Kristal Zarczynski, Fantasy Blog [blog]

Please check 'em out while you're waiting for me to finish grading!
