I have reviewed the introductory material for this class and have no questions about the syllabus or schedule for this class yet, though I'm sure they'll pile on as the semester progresses.
My preference for leading the discussion is "Apasia and Opportunities for Women." I teach Saphho's poetry in my World Lit course and think it would be interesting to discover more about gender politics and social attitudes during that time. Women's voices were often slighted and lost, but they weren't absent.
Looking forward to reading your perspective on Apasia & Opportunities for Women.
ReplyDeleteOver semester break I had the opportunity to read some really interesting pieces on women & mental health and the sophist approach appears less constrictive than so many of today's cultural 'norms'.
Great to be in class with you again!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your discussion, Joy. My undergraduate studies at Texas Woman's University, as you would imagine, regularly focused on topics such as this (never this one specifically, however).
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who have worked together before, what are some of the most useful interactions and assignments requiring interactions you have had? We have you down for Apasia, Joy, thanks.

ReplyDeleteHey, Joy. I was with you--right up until you mentioned exercise! That's all; goodbye! (Good to see you again).
