Marion Hussong’s Spring 14 Senior Sem:
Literature and Exile
During the reign of National Socialism in Germany, many talented writers were forced to emigrate from Germany and Austria, to various destinations of safety around the globe. In this senior seminar we will investigate the vibrant literary production of the pre-Hitler Weimar Republic in Germany, the conditions of literary life under Hitler, and literature in exile while Hitler was in power.
Tom Kinsella’s Spring 14 Senior Sem:
Writing South Jersey
Tuesday – Thursday, 2:30 – 4:20
This seminar will explore the culture and history of Southern New Jersey in order to create texts that highlight its noteworthy features. Projects will include writing for newsletters and exhibitions, creating maps, postcards, and pamphlets, and republishing of out-of-print texts. We will be working with archival materials located in Stockton’s Special Collections but also heading off campus to explore local oddities and treasures. Findings will be disseminated using a variety of traditional and new media formats. Participants will be asked to explore “What constitutes South Jersey?” and to focus on small, less-well-known aspects of this community. Students from all areas in New Jersey are very welcome.
