Below you will find an updated course/blog schedule through mid-March. I will have hard copies to handout and go over on Tuesday. Please note that we will not be covering the Roland Barthes selection. If you are interested in photography I highly recommend reading this piece anyway. You may find inspiration for your final research paper. Also note that we will be covering the Plato handout this coming week (not next). I will have handouts in class so need to read this beforehand. Please email me if you have questions.
