a teaching bleg
May. 28th, 2011 11:13 pmSo I'm putting together my sff comp course for the fall, and I wondered if y'all could help me out with something:
one of the assignments is to write a proposal for the second big paper - it's a good practical skill to have. They'll be writing on short stories by Ursula K. Le Guin and N.K. Jemisin, and - well, I heart sff, but it's not what I write on in my academic life! But I know some of you do or have, and so I was wondering - if you've written up proposals for academic work on sff, or fandom, or steampunk, or any other kind of genre/spec fic, would you mind sending me copies to give my students as models? I'd love to be able to show them examples that had actually worked, and to expose them to breaking sff scholarship in the process. Everything would be anonymized, of course!
