From Aeschylus to Alison Bechdel
This fall, I’m teaching an undergraduate seminar, “Politics Through Literature,” at Brooklyn College. Space is still open.
Our syllabus runs from Aeschylus to Alison Bechdel, concentrating on the politics of the family, beauty, money, and sex. Along the way, we’ll read Vivian Gornick, Ralph Ellison, Bertolt Brecht, Plato, Marx, James Baldwin, Anton Chekhov, Barbara Fields, Euripides, Edward P. Jones, Jane Austen, Nietzsche, Wollstonecraft, Adam Smith, Franz Kafka, Toni Morrison, and more.
If you’re looking for a three-credit class on Monday and Wednesday mornings, from 11 to 12:15, feel free to reach out to me (crobin@brooklyn.cuny.edu) or sign up for POLS 3440.
Feel free to share this post with any and all CUNY students or students who want to sign up for a class at Brooklyn College.

Not an eligible student, but I’m interested nonetheless – is there any way for non-students to see the syllabus? I’m very curious.

^^same question as Mr. Brinson. I couldn’t graduate college but would love to read some of these books.
