Warning About Class Content:

This is a class that deals with representations of women in popular culture. Some of the texts we will look at in this class contain explicit images of sexuality and/or violence against women. You need to be aware of that going into the class. I presume that you are all adults in both the legal sense as well as in terms of how you comport yourself in class discussions. However, if anyone in the class is under 18 years old, please see me to make arrangements for some possible assignments. In addition, if anyone is likely to have unpleasant emotional reactions to potentially graphic or violent depictions of anything, please come see me privately, and I will be happy to give you a warning about which texts in particular might be problematic. I will also gladly arrange for an alternative assignment if necessary.
