A Blatant Commercial

Greetings:

Hope you all had a great weekend, and that you enjoyed Dr. Hakanen's discussion about asking good questions. He actually helped me - and continues to help me - focus my research questions. Focus is not one of my strength - look, a fish!

Anyway: in the spring, I'll be teaching a class called "Fifteen Minutes: The Cultural History of Fame." It meets T and TH at 12:30. We'll explore why people want to be famous, and the history and social significance of fame. For your final project, you'll have to try and become famous. That, and we'll watch American Idol in class. Not a bad deal.

See you in class.

For Next Tuesday...

Greetings:

Following your meeting with Dr. Hakanen on Thursday, I'd like for you to come up with a list of questions - remember, it doesn't have to be exceptionally long - for the interview that you'll be conducting for Paper #2.

Thanks again for your understanding - have a great weekend.
