A new semester commences, and a busy one - I'm involved with four courses! But it's a little less than the University Course Catalog suggests.
The James' Varieties course meets only for ten weeks, albeit for three hours a pop. I don't do the grading for "Performing the Problem of Suffering," which is handled by two graduate student teaching assistants. And I'm only pinch hitting for 'Literature and Ecology," though I intend to attend as many sessions of this courses as possible: it's the university's first lecture course in environmental humanities, and those of us involved with it are hoping it becomes a valued parts of the New School landscape going forward. Still, I'll be in classrooms four days a week for the better part of the semester. What fun!
