Welcome to the 2016-2017 academic year

And welcome to the world of Themes in Contemporary Literature: Let's Play. In this course, you will have the opportunity to explore a range of ideas laced together by the concepts of game, play, sport, competition and creativity to understand how these ideas contribute to different kinds of identities in different cultures. We will explore football, boxing, baseball; we will examine poetry, drama, prose; we will write personal essays, literary analyses, theses; we will discuss, discuss, discuss. I am delighted to have you joining me in the conversation. Let's play.
