|PIease Read Before Adopting a Bull Terrier in Illinois
Bull Terrier Dogs can make good pets in Illinois if they match your IifestyIe. Bull Terriers are stocky, solid dogs that were once bred to be very fierce but today are much gentler. Bull Terriers are companionable, thrive on attention, and do not like to be left alone for hours or left out of activities. Bull Terriers are spunky and energetic but need to get plenty of brisk exercise or they may become lazy and put on weight. Bull Terriers like children but do not like to be teased. Bull Terriers can be good pets but it is important that they are thoroughly socialized and obedience trained. Bull Terriers sometimes are not good with other household pets and can sometimes be aggressive with other dogs.

Blackface Incidents at Whitman and Texas A&M
Whitman College called off classes Thursday for a day of diversity programs after photographs appeared online of some students wearing blackface at a party, as part of an attempt to dress like participants in the "Survivor" reality television show in which team members were divided by race, the Associated Press reported. At Texas A&M University, officials are denouncing an online video by three students in which one student, in blackface, plays the role of a "slave" who is whipped and sodomized by his "master." Students have been holding forums about and protests of the video.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
New to type design. Question:
I rarely, if at all, use accented characters (I'm a typical American). I'm creating a san serif font and noted, on other sans serif fonts, accent glyphs such as used for grave and circumflex characters have a "wedge" shape. Of course, the circumflex is two wedges coming together at the apex.
Can accent glyphs be the same width at the bottom as they are at the apex? A grave character, for instance, would look like a hyphen at an angle instead of a wedge at an angle.
I haven't a clue. I want to go with the "hyphen at an angle" look if that's acceptable in accent glyph shapes.
Most often acute and grave accents are tapered at the lower end, but if an even stroke looks best with your design, go for it. There is precedent for those as well. As far as I can tell, the distinction is a matter of taste.
If by 'hyphen at an angle' you mean a rotated hyphen, that would be quite unusual for a normal sans-serif grave accent. I assume you are referring to a shape with horizontal top and bottom lines of the same length (a parallelogram), in which case I agree with cuttlefish.
Thanks for the reply. Attached is what I'm speaking to. I should have attached something the first time but, hey, I'm new to the forum. I'll learn.
Are these acceptable?
The only problem I can see is that the shape makes the accents really tall and much taller than, e.g., the tildes.
Does the font include lowercase as well? (Accents are often steeper/taller on lowercase letters and flatter/lower on uppercase letters lest they take up too much space and require too much leading.)
BTW the acute and grave should not be mathematically centred over the glyphs. Check out Adam Twardoch's Diacritic Design Presentation
Thanks to all for the tips. You can see I'm a complete newcomer to accents!

George Washington
1st United States President
Born: February 22, 1732
Birthplace: Westmoreland County, Virginia
Religion: Episcopalian
Education: No formal education
Occupation: Planter, Soldier
Political Party: FederalistOther Government Positions: Member of Virginia House of Burgesses, 1759 – 74,member of Continental Congress, 1774 – 75, and Chairman of the Constitutional Convention, 1787 – 88
George Washington was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. While in his teens, he trained as a surveyor, and at the age of 20 he was appointed adjutant in the Virginia militia. For the next three years, he fought in the wars against the French and Indians, serving as General Edward Braddock's aide in the disastrous campaign against Ft. Duquesne. In 1759, he resigned from the militia, married Martha Dandridge Custis, a widow with children, and settled down as a gentleman farmer at Mount Vernon, Virginia.
"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." George Washington
As a militiaman, Washington had been exposed to the arrogance of the British officers, and his experience as a planter with British commercial restrictions increased his anti-British sentiment. He opposed the Stamp Act of 1765 and after 1770 became increasingly prominent in organizing resistance. A delegate to the Continental Congress, Washington was selected as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and took command at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on July 3, 1775.
"Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics." George Washington
Inadequately supported and sometimes covertly sabotaged by the Congress, in charge of troops who were inexperienced, badly equipped, and impatient of discipline, Washington conducted the war on the policy of avoiding major engagements with the British and wearing them down by harassing tactics. Hi able generalship, along with the French alliance and the growing weariness within Britain, brought the war to a conclusion with the surrender of Cornwallis following the siege at Yorktown, Virginia, on October 19, 1781.
"…reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle…" George Washington
The chaotic years under the Articles of Confederation led Washington to return to public life in the hope of promoting the formation of a strong central government. He presided over the Constitutional Convention and yielded to the universal demand that he serve as first president. He was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, in New York, the first national capital. In office, he sought to unite the nation and establish the authority of the new government at home and abroad. Greatly distressed by the emergence of the Hamilton – Jefferson rivalry, Washington worked to maintain neutrality but actually sympathized more with Hamilton than the Federalists. He was unanimously reelected in 1792. His Farewell Address on September 17, 1796, (published but never delivered) rebuked party divisiveness and warned against "permanent alliances" with foreign powers.
He died at Mount Vernon on December 14, 1799.

March 1, 1781 - Formal ratification of the Articles of Confederation was announced by Congress. Under the Articles, Congress was the sole governing body of the new American national government, which consisted of the 13 original states. The Articles stayed in effect through the Revolutionary War until 1789, when the current U.S. Constitution was adopted.
"Today I took one of my daughters and her three sons to the Museum. Thank you for the gift of such a meaningful experience. My grandsons are 9, 11, and 13. We stayed nearly two hours and they were completely attentive. They all asked to return for a longer visit. The depth of the message and the consistent Chrictian thread reminded us of God's hand in our country's story. I love history and have visited many American museums. This is Snithsonian quality with a sense of respect and awe that is unparalleled. It was emotional but not Maudlin. It left permanent impressions on all of us. Thank you so very much for dedicating your time and resources to make this availble to us. I will be telling all my friends abiut this "hidden treasure." (Hawkins, TX)

"Wonderful Museum, one of the best I've seen!" (Peoria, AZ)
"A hidden jewel - so much history. Loved It!" (Houston, TX)
"Great Museum! Should be required for every school child." (Hideaway, TX)

2010 Kia Sedona Minivan LX 4dr Ext Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 5A)
From Oldsmobile Silhouette to this. 4 miles less per gallon of gas than my 1999 and 2004. Rides like a dump truck, loud, poor cornering, terrible in snow with good snow tires. Doors freeze shut in winter. Wiper blades clear only part of the visual field. Rear wiper can only be obtained at a dealership and lasts about six months for $ 25.00 Side mirrors poorly suited to the vehicle. Cheap arm rests that fail constantly. Worst radio in automotive history. There is nothing that could convince me to try this vehicle again.

The rotors on my Sedona 2010 always stress on a downgrade.
The whole system vibrates and sounds like it will fail. Car has less than 35,000.
Dealer told me it is the way I drive. I live on flat land with little or no traffic to stress system.
One "Goodwill Warranty" machined front brake 7/7 and rear brake 6/6.
Within 3 months I had to drive the same grade...huge vibration.
Immediately took car to dealer...Insisted I needed to replace all rotors (approx $500.)..Took to my local brake specialist...$70.00 ..machined left front rotor...pads good.
Did not need to replace rotors.
Again 6 months later brakes vibrate on a downhill grade.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Purchased in March 2010, roughly 6 months later began having unexplained occurrences of the battery dying. Dealer found nothing wrong, yet the issue persists sporadically even to this day.

2010 Kia Sedona Minivan EX 4dr Ext Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 5A)
bought used with 33,000 from car rental, saved $$$$. Changed to mobile one oil, took a 2,000 mile trip from SA TX to Wich KS and back, plus sight seeing. Averaged 25mpg running mostly 80mph.
Great seating, acceleration, handling, traction and braking.
good visability, low road noise, lots of storage places and plenty of drink holders.
Well placed controls, easy to access while driving. Good factory window tinting, dual A/C keeps everyone comfy.
Getting around 18 mpg in town.
Can't think of any yet, will post later if I find any.

I view a car as a depreciating asset and a necessary evil that needs to be reliable and safe. I do not view my vehicles as a statement of my success nor do I view them as a mobile living room. That said, I bought a used 2010
Sedonna LX with 18000 miles on the odometer, covered the steering wheel with a laced leather cover, and I am thrilled with it. It drives as nicely as many other minivans, gets fair gas mileage, and was a great value. Based on my first three months with the vehicle, I highly recommend the Kia Sedonna LX if you are seeking enjoyable and well priced transportation.

2010 Kia Sedona Minivan 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 5A)
My company purchased a 2010 Sedona. When we keep the emergency flashers on for more then 10 minutes without the van running our battery goes dead. I brought it back to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. A battery does not go dead within that short period of time. The KIA company have done nothing to resolve this problem after numerous complaints, I would not recommend any one to purchase a KIA even though it is the sister to the Hyundai family. Can you just imagine being on the side of the highway and your vehicle breaks down, you keep your flashers on and when the tow truck arrives, he has to jump your battery and fix a flat at the same time. Buyer Beware!

Male,Age 75,I traded my 2002 Mazda Minivan (116,000 miles) for this 2010 Sedona. Drove home from MN.to Tx. then turned around and drove to San Francisco, Ca. and back to TX. All interstate. This car is a real great road car, holding the legal limit of 80 mph in Texas on I-10 for over 400 miles. Carried a lot of "stuff" to Ca. as I am downsizing the house. 3700 miles mostly between 70 & 80 mph I averaged 22.6 mpg. Great for this size car. Similar mileage to the old Mazda MPV which was smaller and lighter. Both with V-6 motors. We saw a lot of the Western USA, from the MPV, so I am used to road travel. Wish my wife was still alive to enjoy this great new Mini-Van.

KIA is dishonest. Standard options don't come standard. 15 mpg instead of 21 mpg. The engine light came on at only 500 miles. It handles poorly. Acceleration is weak. It has the feeling of a 4 cylinder. It doesn't have all the options that it's competitors have. The options they do have don't have the functionality of it's competitors. For example, it has radio controls on the steering wheel, yet you can't change the station or go to the next song on the wheel. You still have to go to the radio. ***Spend a little bit more upfront for a more reliable minivan. It'll be cheaper in the long run.

This car is definitely has high ratio of quality and price. It runs very smoothly and quietly.

We've only had the van for about two weeks now and so far love it! It's like they say, never want one, till you own one! With 3 kids this is the perfect car for us. I was sad to get rid of my CX-7 but am so happy we did - not just for the room alone. The ride is smooth and surprisingly quiet. The leather seats are very comfortable! DVD with wireless headphones = awesome! And getting all in & out is stress free. Looked at the Sienna & the Odyssey - so nice, but expensive at the mid-range model. We got this fully loaded for about the same & neither could touch the cash incentives or the warranty! We hope we've made a good investment & are able to ride this car into the ground. A Kia? who knew?

The Woman With A Worm in Her Head
And Other True Stories of Infectious Diseases
A normal, healthy woman becomes host to a pork tapeworm that is burrowing into her brain and disabling her motor abilities.A handsome man contracts Chicken Pox and ends up looking like the victim of a third degree burn.A vigorous young athlete is bitten by an insect and becomes a target for flesh-eating strep.Even the most innocuous everyday activities such as eating a salad for lunch, getting bitten by an insect, and swimming in the sea bring human beings into contact with dangerous, often deadly microorganisms. In The Woman with a Worm in Her Head , Dr. Pamela Nagami reveals-through real-life cases-the sobering facts about some of the world's most horrific diseases: the warning signs, the consequences, treatments, and most compellingly, what it feels like to make medical and ethical decisions that can mean the difference between life and death.Unfailingly precise, calmly instructive, and absolutely engrossing, The Woman with the Worm in Her Head offers both useful information and enjoyable reading.

Older park with new owners. Sites gravel mainly level not all 50amp. Owners are friendly. Has a number of full time trailers but sites are pretty well kept up. Would be a good place to stay a few days while visting the Turner Falls area. No real place for children to play but owners intend to make more available for families with children. I would stay here again when in the area. We camped at Shady Oaks RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

The HYMAX GRIP's patented universal teeth and hydraulic seal restrain all types of plastic and metal pipes and grip even harder when under stress. Joining pipes can move up to 4 degrees on each end without pipe pullout. The result: a watertight seal even in extreme temperature changes. Ready to use out of the box, the unit comes as a restraint coupling and as a flange adapter in diameter sizes of 4 to 12 in. Installers will appreciate the stab-fit and bold closure designs.

The end of summer doesn't mean you have to pack up all your memorable summer moments. Show off your favorite vacation photos in a creative way with this tutorial on How to Showcase Vacation Memories. Framed photos are a thing of the past...make your photos work for you with these easy and fun decoration ideas from Fiskars!
- Photos
- Cardstock
- Binder Rings
- Glass hurricane
- Marbles or sea glass
- Clothespin
- Magnetic acrylic photo frame
For a fun alternative to photo albums, create a custom flip book. Simply print photos to 4x6, cover with cardstock, and attach with small binder rings. Flip books are great to throw into a basket on the coffee table, or to hang from a drawer knob.
Give seaside photos a beach-y vibe by filling a glass hurricane jar with marbles or sea glass, and inserting a small photo. This is a great way to create a vignette on a mantel or table. If your kids collected seashells, add in a few small ones.
For a fun and easy twist on the standard photo magnet, create a collage in your photo-editing program. Back with cardstock, and slide into a simple magnetic acrylic photo frame. Display on the fridge, or on your file cabinet at work.
Share your vacation fun with your loved ones by creating simple note cards with your favorite prints. Whether you're just sending a quick hello, or gifting a set of cards, your friends & family will love sharing a piece of your adventure!

One would think teaching would be a quiet profession. But not in Chicago, thinks high school teacher Tom Mason when he hears that one of his student has been accused of killing his girlfriend. Tom is asked to help clear the boy, and the more he probes, the more it seems that something sinister is going on in the usually quiet suburbs of Chicago.

On Monday the 19th of January, Emma and I are doing a reading at the BristolCon Fringe. It starts at 7.30 and includes bits from both of our new books* and a (hopefully!) nice relaxed Q and A session afterwards.
The event takes place at: The Shakespeare Tavern, 68 Prince Street, Bristol, BS1 4QD
There's a facebook event page for it here if you like to sign up to things in advance.
It'd be lovely to see you!

2014 has been an odd year. There have been several bereavements, quite a bit of time doing hospital visits, several members of the family getting bad news and a load of stress in my general vicinity.
Personally though, I've been fine.
And the year was not without its highlights. Here's a few of them:
The other joy was getting to meet so many new people at conventions and see familiar faces. This year has also seen a deepening of one or two relationships into really good new friendships, something I find increasingly rare as I get older.
*This is literally one of the BEST THINGS EVER.

On Friday the cover for The Vagrant went up on the wonderful Fantasy Faction. I've been absolutely delighted with the response and I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the incredibly talented Jamie Jones for doing such a fine job. Jaime has done work for an amazing list of clients, including: Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Bungie, NCSoft, Blizzard, National Geographic, Penguin books and Harper Voyager.
I must admit I had a little squee when I found out he'd worked on some of the concept art for Destiny.
It's well worth paying a visit to his blog.
So thanks, Jaime. You (and your art) are awesome!
If you haven't yet popped over to Fantasy Faction, they've got a wonderful article there about the Vagrant and a competition to win an ARC. But hurry, time is running out (at time of writing you have about 4 days left)!

I had to stay in today because I'm waiting for a delivery. It hasn't arrived yet* but, in a rather unexpected surprise, my ARC's** for The Vagrant have!
The time immediately following that was a little fuzzy but I'm back now.
Here's a picture to celebrate!

Two wonderful things have happened.
The first was that I had a photoshoot with Lou Abercrombie (aka @Ladygrimdark). As a result of this I have new author pics. It's rare that I have a photo of myself that I like (at least any taken of me after the age of six) so credit to Lou that she made the whole experience fun and managed to catch my good side!
If you're based anywhere near Bath, and need a picture, I'd highly recommend getting in touch.
The second thing was that my super-agent Juliet Mushens* has sold Czech rights to The Vagrant to Host! The idea that my book is going to be available in another country and will be translated and have its own cover is as unexpected as it is delicious!
*She really is super. And she's just been shortlisted for the Literary Agent of the year award.

Despite the title of a recent blog post, normal service has not resumed. This time Sky (and BT and contractors and the Gas people) are off the hook.
It was part Christmas and part work but in the main I've been obsessively writing and, even though it was really hard* and even though it took a lot longer than I wanted it to…
I've finished the first draft of the Vagrant!
This is without doubt the hardest thing I've written so far and I'm very excited** about it! I've even been singing a song from the Southpark movie around the house.***
Anyway, normal service will now resume****, along with some editing of Grand Theft Hero, hopefully to go to beta readers relatively early next year.
*In a really good way. It's nice to stretch.
**As excited as repressed English people get anyway.
*** "I'm Super." (If you're wondering).
**** No promises.

I've not written a Friday Flash this week but I do have a story, Dismissed, over at the wonderful John Xero's 101 Fiction site.
This year I was planning to enter lots of short story competitions and generally put myself about. Back in February I found a host of anthologies and competitions that looked interesting and made a list which became a plan of action.
The plan never actually saw action as I discovered that I didn't feel like writing short stories, I wanted to write another book. It's called Grand Theft Hero and, so far, I'm enjoying it much more than I'm not. The new plan is to focus on the first draft.
Oh and I've got this goat* lying around the house…
The first chapter of the Vagrant has come to a close and I've got to decide what to do now. It's been an odd experience for me writing it. Normally I have an idea for a story and then I tell it but with the Vagrant the idea was buried deep in my head and it felt like I had to be patient and trust that it was there while chipping away each week. Gradually the larger arc emerged and now I can stand back and appreciate the overall structure (even if there are a lot of nooks that still need exploring).
At some point I've started to think that maybe, just maybe, the Vagrant has got legs. That maybe I could work on it and, one day, publish it.
That's going to mean a lot of work. For starters it's currently set up as a serial and I'd like to turn it into a series of novellas. That means pacing issues, plotting changes, and probably a lot of other unglamorous stuff.
I've been very lucky to have such supportive readers and there are a lot of criticisms that need reflecting and acting on. So to that end I'm going to let it rest for a while, have a break from that world and then take it off the blog for a serious reworking**.
Eventually I'll need Beta readers*** and I'm particularly interested in folk who've already read the first incarnation so if you'd be interested, let me know.
*Imaginary (no I don't really own a goat)
**If you're still catching up, you've got about two weeks left.
***Ideally an impossible crossbreed of cheerleader and critic.

In November I wrote 50K towards the first draft of 'The Mountainless Book 2'. Then I stalled a bit. In December I wrote…er…about a thousand words.
Good question. Apart from the whole Christmas thing I managed to keep up with my serial (The Vagrant), I wrote a short story for Fantasy Faction (it's called 'A Royal Winter', and voting will open soon, so I'd appreciate it if you stopped by) and I've written an entry for the James White Award (there's still time to enter if you fancy). I also killed a lot of dragons and became head of the Mages College in Winterhold but that's another story.
Indeed, so I've come up with a plan. It sadly has nothing to with Cylons. I'm planning to get as close as I can to finishing the first draft by the end of the month by repeating my November experience, a kind of 'Peter's January Writing Month' or 'PeJaWriMo'.
To this end I've spent the last week pre-writing The Vagrant to cover me through most of January and plan to get back to the book tomorrow, just after we've finished redecorating.
I'll keep updating my progress (or lack of it) on the word counter to your right.

I'm joining the bandwagon and having a go at NaNoWriMo this year. I'm going to use it to write the first half of the sequel of the novel that I referred to in an earlier post.
The thing is I also wanted to produce flashes over November but I thought it would be too ambitious for me to do both. Then I had an idea, what if I prepared flashes in October and then released them over November (ok, you'd probably thought that already, but I was excited). So I sat down to do just that, wrote one flash, then another.
Good so far.
Then without really meaning to, I started writing a serial called 'The Vagrant'. The first part of it will go up on Friday and I'm quite excited about it.
I also find it really hard to write. I think it's because I'm unearthing a world that some deep part of me worked out ages ago but the rest of me is chipping away at, one sentence at a time. That and the style feels a little different from my normal one.
So, roll on Friday. And roll on November, I'm nearly ready for you!

English Department J Term and Spring 2015 Courses
FYEP 190/ENGL 213: Literature: Thomas and Authors
Professor Thomas Campbell
A Critical Inquiry course which focuses on the theme of "journeys"–the process of movement
and change, loss and gain by which we piece together knowledge of the world, of others, of
ourselves. We'll read a range of literary texts (novel, drama, lyric poetry, philosophical satire,
travel narrative) as well as the "texts" of popular culture to see how they raise questions about
and shape understandings of the complexities of human experience which emerge from such
journeys of discovery.
ENGL 217.1: Alternative Perspectives in Literature: Memory and Reparation in
African American Literature
Professor Jenny James
How does literature reconstruct and re-member an African American past? How do shifting
conceptions of race, gender, sexuality and nation impact our understanding and political
response to this complex history? Who are its inheritors and what is the responsibility we bear
to the ghosts and remnants of this fragmented past? In this course we'll read contemporary
fiction, drama and poetry by African American writers in order to explore the roles that history
and memory have played in imagining Black identity and collectivity in America. In particular,
we will explore the work of such authors as Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Richard Wright,
Octavia Butler, Danzy Senna, and Anna Deveare Smith.
ENGL 217.2: Alternative Perspectives in Literature: Poetry by Women
Professor Rick Barot
In addition to being a general introduction to poetry as a genre, the course will delve into the
specific concerns of women poets. We will explore answers to the following questions: What
are the themes and stories which women poets write about? Are these themes and stories
noticeably different from those of male poets? How do sexuality, identity, and art interact in
the texts that we read for the class? How do political and societal forces impact the work that
the poets produce? What are the elements of craft that make each text a particular
phenomenon of its own, making it distinct from other texts–in other genres–that might deal
with similar content? And a final, big question: why do poets write their poems, who do artists
make art? The majority of the poets we read will be 20th-century and contemporary American
poets, though we will spend time with an early precursor of these poets: Emily Dickinson. The
work for the class will include nightly reading, brief response papers, reading quizzes, and
ENGL 227: Introduction to Poetry and Fiction
Professor Jason Skipper
Introduction to Poetry and Fiction Writing is a foundational-level course that introduces
students to the history, theories, and practice of poetry and fiction writing. In this class students
will consider the work of many authors from different time periods and backgrounds in order to
consider the ways creative writing is used to follow a line of inquiry and deepen the reader's
understanding of the human condition. Students in this course will produce both poetry and
short stories, and this work will be critiqued in a workshop setting.
ENGL 335: Fairy Tales and Fantasies
Professor David Seal
ENGL 355: Special Topics: Literature Before 1660
Professor Thomas Krise
"Shakespeare and Friends" provides a survey of English literature with a focus on the literary
tradition that William built upon and contributed to. The course will cover a range of literary
genres, including comedy, tragedy, prose narrative, and verse. Besides Shakespeare, the
course will include works by Chaucer, Margery Kempe, Spenser, Sidney, Donne, Elizabeth I,
Jonson, and Milton, among others. Students will have the opportunity to build skills in
discussion, oral presentation, and writing.
ENGL 216: Cross-Cultural Perspectives in Literature: South African Township Drama
Professor Barbara Temple-Thurston
T and R 13:45-15:30
This course examines five plays that emerged during South Africa's apartheid era and were
instrumental in conscientizing their audiences and mobilizing increasing resistance world wide
against the racist system of government. Students learn about apartheid history and are
fortunate to have videos of all the plays' unique improvisational style performances. They learn
of the frightening consequences the playwrights/directors/actors risked through there
opposition to the system. Since Apartheid has been absorbed into global culture as a
metaphor for discriminatory political systems anywhere in the world, it is helpful for students to
learn about its history through art.
ENGL 221: Research and Writing
Professor Scott Rogers
T and R 18:00-20:00
English 221 is an introduction to methods working scholars use to conduct and write up
interesting and effective academic research. We will deal with three specific scholarly practices:
1) planning and developing good research questions; 2) locating and generating effective
research materials; 3) strategically employing research in pursuit of convincing and wellsupported
arguments. We will also discuss a range of research strategies that will take us to the
library, the archive, and the community in search of compelling evidence for our argumentative
goals. Importantly, this course will focus on research and writing as a form of discovery and
meaning making within distinct academic conversations. Students will do research in areas of
interest related to their academic or professional goals. Course assignments include a study of
research practices in a specific academic or professional setting, a traditional academic
research paper, a qualitative community research project, and a multimodal research
ENGL 227: Introduction to Poetry and Fiction
Professor Deborah Kennedy
T and R 15:40-17:25
In his poem, "September 1, 1939," W.H. Auden writes, "All I have is a voice / to undo the
folded lie." In this workshop-based class, students will uncover and develop their own
individual voices, expressing their unique take on the world through the media of poetry and
fiction. Don't buy the cliché that everything's already been written, that there's nothing new to
say. Instead, undo that folded lie. In addition to producing several creative pieces over the
course of the term, students will be required to participate actively in discussion of published
poetry and fiction and comment in a thoughtful way on the work of their peers. By the end of
the semester, students will have an extensive portfolio of new work, a greater understanding of
how to self-edit and constructively criticize, and a firmer grasp of the power of their own voice.
ENGL 232: Women's Literature
Professor Deborah Kennedy
T and R 11:50-13:35
Carolyn See once said, "Every word a woman writes changes the story of the world, revises the
official version." In this course, students will dive deeply into just such revisions, discovering
how the words of writers like Jane Austen, Katherine Mansfield, Clarice Lispector, Mavis
Gallant, Elizabeth Bishop, Toni Morrison, Alice Munro, Rita Dove, Jumpa Lahiri, and Edwidge
Danticat have changed the world and altered how we view everything from motherhood and
marriage to the formation of identity, the historical and personal repercussions of slavery and
imperialism, and what it means to love. This class will focus primarily on fiction but will delve
into poetry and drama as well. Students will be expected to write several pieces of literary
analysis, participate actively in class discussion, and complete an end-of-term group project.
ENGL 251: British Traditions in Literature – Marriage Plots: Tying the Knot, or Not, from
Shakespeare to Austen.
Professor Adela Ramos
T and R 09:55-11:40
The romantic comedy or "romcom," so frequently gendered as a female genre (i.e., the chick
flick), owes its unceasing popularity to, among other things, marriage's status as one of the
most powerful institutions in contemporary American society. Today, senators and
representatives in Congress, as well as members of religious institutions and civilians all over
the country, debate whether or not same-sex marriage should be legalized. For some,
changing the legal understanding of marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman
threatens to upturn society as a whole. For others, the legalization of same-sex marriage is a
crucial step in securing equal rights for all human beings. The idea that marriage can define an
entire nation and its culture has been shaped not only by law and politics, but also, and quite
powerfully, by literature. In particular, the marriage plot has played a key role in asserting
longstanding traditions of marriage as well as in contesting established marital ideals, in
representing ideals of family and subverting those ideals, in constructing ideas of femininity
and masculinity or representing alternative ideas of gender, in inquiring whether or not love
and passion are integral for a successful marriage. In this course, we will explore British literary
traditions, from tragedy and comedy to amatory poetry and the marriage plot, to examine how
writers have either celebrated or contested ideals of marriage, love, and family, gender, nation,
and class. We begin the semester with William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and amatory
poetry, continue with Frances Burney's Evelina and Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, and
conclude with Jeffrey Eugenides' recent novel, The Marriage Plot, which will frame your final
presentations on how contemporary comic and tragic marriage plots are structured to either
celebrate or contest social, cultural, and political ideals.
ENGL 300: English Studies Seminar
Professor Adela Ramos
M and W 18:00-20:00
Eighteenth-century writer, William Godwin, once proclaimed that, "Literature, taken in all its
bearings, forms the grand line of demarcation between the human and animal kingdoms." This
section of ENGL 300 will introduce you to English studies by probing into Godwin's claim: Are
reading and writing ultimately the key practices that make us human? If so, what ethical, critical,
and creative questions should this raise for you, a budding English major? In order to answer
these questions, we will read and write texts that actively attempt to construct clear lines of
demarcation between humans and other animals and to breakdown the porous border
separating our species from others.
ENGL 301: Shakespeare
Professor Chuck Bergman
T and R 13:45-15:30
An advanced course in Shakespeare. We'll read seven plays and lots of sonnets. We'll focus
our study on historical and cultural contexts in the English Renaissance, as well as the texts of
the plays themselves. Emphasis on language, character, and thematics. Meet some of the
greatest characters in literature–Falstaff, Richard III, Bottom, Rosalind, Ophelia, King Lear and
his Fool. What's really remarkable is how Shakespeare identifies defining issues of the modern
world, including the power and problematics of human desire, gender and its many guises,
relations between the sexes, the escape and transformation in nature, the inescapability of
suffering and tragedy. We'll work hard, learn tons, have fun. And probably become lifelong
fans of Shakespeare.
ENGL 312: Publishing Procedures
Professor Solveig Robinson
M and W 13:45-15:30
This hands-on seminar is an introduction to the technical and intellectual skills essential to the
modern publishing world. Assignments and sessions will reflect the pace and variety of
professional publishing work, with an emphasis on book and journal publishing.
ENGL 313: Art of the Book 1
Professor Mare Blocker
T and R 11:50-13:35
ENGL 314: Art of the Book 2
Professor Mare Blocker
T and R 11:50-13:35
ENGL 324: Freelance Writing
Professor Deborah Kennedy
M and W 15:40-17:25
Writers hoping to make it in the world of modern journalism are finding more and more that
the current marketplace favors the self-employed freelancer over the full-time staff member. In
this class, students will learn how to write successful pitches and query letters, as well as how to
tailor their work to fit the demands of an increasingly Internet-based medium. They will also
produce several articles over the course of the term, focusing on news, sports, humor, feature,
political, and profile pieces. By the end of the term many students will have their first major
publication and all will walk away with the real-life skills necessary to navigate the fast-paced
and rewarding world of freelance writing.
ENGL 325: Personal Essay
Professor Thomas Campbell
A semester spent reading and writing the invitingly hybrid form of creative non-fiction called
the personal essay. It can accommodate just about any topic and any tonality, and while
neither memoir nor autobiography, fiction nor poetry, journalism nor expository argument, it
can poach from all of these genres to create a distinct but elastic form of its own.
ENGL 326: Writing for Children
Professor Nathalie op de Beeck
T and R 09:55-11:40
Our Spring 2015 course in Writing for Children will address issues of audience and will question
the process of writing for and about young readers. Students will craft short fiction and
experiment with voice, form, and genre. In addition to weekly writing and workshopping,
students should come prepared to read closely and give presentations on assigned novels,
short stories, folk and fairy tales, and picture books. Our reading list includes Jeff VanderMeer's
Wonderbook: The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction and Green and Levithan's
multivocal novel Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Additional readings include three regional
Washington/Oregon novels: Meloy and Ellis's Wildwood, Meyer's Cinder, and Applegate and
Castelao's The One and Only Ivan. Students will be expected to attend on-campus literary
events including the Visiting Writer Series (2.26.2015) and to develop a substantial portfolio of
work in progress.
ENGL 334: Special Topics in Children's Literature: Childhood and Environment
Professor Nathalie op de Beeck
T and R 13:45-15:30
In recent years, prominent scholars, critics, and journalists have diagnosed children with
"ecophobia" (Sobel, 1996) and "nature-deficit disorder" (Louv, 2005). Educators and other
civic-minded individuals urge people of all ages to "unplug," to be kind to animals (those we
do and do not eat), to enjoy the great outdoors, and to do no less than save the planet. In our
course, we will study how children's literature and media engage with these ongoing and evershifting
conversations. Our course surveys the history and criticism of children's environmental
literature and media in America, with attention to past and present trends in publishing, animal
studies, ecocriticism, educational policies, and environmental activism. Along with our primary
resources (novels, graphic narratives, picture books, films), we will attend to articles and
documentaries on play, on marketing nature and environment, and on the state of twenty-first
century environmentalism for future generations.
Throughout the semester, we will explore the ways human and nonhuman animals are
represented visually and verbally in children's literature and media, including in novels, graphic
narratives and comics, picture books, and films (animated, live-action, animatronic) of the past
century. We will give particular attention to how children's books and media embrace or reject
whimsy, artificiality, abstraction, anthropomorphism, naturalism, and arguments for
sustainability. Our readings and activities will enable us to explore ethnic, racial,
socioeconomic, and species diversity in terms of childhood and environment, and to consider
how children of diverse heritage are represented in or implied as readers of texts. We will
engage with the issues of childhood and environment by writing critical essays, presenting
individually, collaborating in small groups, and developing final projects that connect our
findings to meaningful social action.
This core course in the Children's Literature and Culture (CHLC) Program is open to all who
need a 300-level English course, and particularly students with concerns around
environmentalism, sustainability, animal studies, and/or ecocriticism. English Literature and
Writing majors and minors, students pursuing the CHLC minor, and Environmental Studies
students are encouraged to participate.
ENGL 343: Post-Colonial Literature and Theory
Professor Barbara Temple-Thurston
T and R 09:55-11:40
This course introduces students to a field which, broadly speaking, takes as its focus the period
of Europe's colonization of a vast wealth of indigenous cultures, and the consequent struggles
of those cultures to free themselves from imperial control up to, and beyond, political
independence. Students' exploration of five novels from the post-colonial cultures of India, the
Caribbean, and South Africa, is informed by theoretical readings which engage many, though
certainly not all, of the complex and controversial points of view. Due to the complexity of the
critical theory, this course is recommended for students with some experience of literary study.
CHLC 336: Rights of the Child
This core course in the Children's Literature and Culture Program will concern the human rights
of the child, especially as related to our university's missions of social justice, diversity, and
environmental sustainability. We will read essays and look at fiction and nonfiction texts
(stories, films, etc.) having to do with human rights issues and with the field known as
Childhood Studies. We will examine the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child
and other documents; we will learn about academic, legal, and other definition(s) of related
terms like child, youth, and childhood; and we will think about how children's own voices and
archives of childhood are compiled, studied, and interpreted. Students in this course will read,
write, discuss and present materials designed to develop shared understandings of Childhood
and Culture. Interested students, including those involved in PLU's Holocaust and Gender
Studies Program, may look ahead to collaborative work during the annual Powell-Heller
Conference for Holocaust Education (March 4-6, 2015), which will convene around the topic of
Children's Voices: The Holocaust and Beyond.
ENGL 362: British Literature, 1800 – 1914
Professor Thomas Campbell
ENGL 374: American Literature, 1945 – present: Towards a Transnational American
Professor Jenny James
T and R 15:40-17:25
In this seminar on contemporary American literature, we will explore how U.S. literature
becomes an increasingly transnational and hemispheric literary canon in the wake of
World War II. Illuminating the impact of immigration, exile and revolutionary
movements on Americans at home and abroad, authors of the period sought to capture
the changing landscape of identity in this complex post-war world. Rather than simply
look back to the "usable past" of our nation's Puritan origins, these authors invoke a
wide and diverse set of cultural backgrounds and identities in their portrayal of
collective experience in contemporary America. We will read novels, short stories and
poems that account for the way literature reflects not just the citizen, but the wanderer,
outcast and nomad that defies geographic and cultural boundaries. Authors may
include Junot Diaz, James Baldwin, Jack Kerouac, Toni Morrison, Ruth Ozeki, Karen Tei
Yamashita, Elizabeth Bishop and Tim O'Brien.
ENGL 388: Special Topics in Fiction Writing
Professor Jason Skipper
T and R 13:45-15:30
This upper-level fiction writing course will focus on short stories that incorporate multiple points
of view. Students will critically consider texts that employ multiple narrators and will produce
original work that utilizes this narrative technique.
ENGL 393: The English Language
Professor Rona Kaufman
M and W 13:45-15:30
What is language? Where does it come from? How does it work? What are its structures? In
what ways is language political, social, personal, economic? What are the rules of language?
Who decides? And what are the consequences for not following the rules? Is language the
same thing as grammar? And just what is grammar anyway? Should we approach it
descriptively or prescriptively? When? Why? What are teachers' responsibilities to students
when it comes to language? What are teachers' responsibilities to language? How does our
understanding of language affect what is taught and how and why (and likewise, what isn't
taught and why not)?
This course is designed to immerse students into the complexities of language. It is divided
into two main parts: 1) History, Structures, and the Teaching of Language and 2) Identity,
Politics, and Power. Through a variety of in- and out-of-class exercises, students should
develop thoughtful and informed answers to the above questions that they can articulate,
defend, and put into practice.
ENGL 427: Seminar: Poetry Writing
Professor Rick Barot
M and W 18:00-20:00
ENGL 429: Seminar: Fiction Writing
Professor Jason Skipper
T and R 15:40-17:25
The Capstone Senior Seminar in Fiction Writing is an advanced level workshop that focuses on
short story writing. In this course students will explore the ways reading shapes a writer's critical
lens, write a critical paper and give a presentation that examines a short story author and a
genre in literary fiction, and produce three new stories. The semester will culminate with a
capstone presentation, during which students will contextualize their writing in terms of literary
history, theory, and technique, present a story that they produced in this class, and take
questions from the audience.

Pew Report Finds That Working Women Boost Family Economic Mobility
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
Andrea Risotto, 202-540-6510
Washington, DC - 04/01/2014 - Most working women out-earn their mothers but still make a lower hourly wage than men did more than 30 years ago
The Pew Charitable Trusts today released a study finding that women in their prime working years are earning three times more than their working mothers did at the same age, strengthening family financial well-being.
Women work 10 hours more per week and earn $9 more per hour than the previous generation, translating into higher annual earnings. These higher earnings, which have been adjusted for inflation, have helped families maintain their places on the economic ladder or, particularly for families at the bottom, to move up. But even as women have increased their wages by 50 percent or more at every rung of the income ladder, they still make less than men did on the same rung more than three decades ago.
"These findings emphasize the importance of women's earnings for family financial security and upward mobility," said Erin Currier, who directs Pew's economic mobility research. "But given women's lower wages relative to men, families still don't fully benefit from their work."
The report, Women's Work: The Economic Mobility of Women Across a Generation, compares women and men in their prime working years between 2000 to 2008 to workers in their prime approximately thirty years before. Historically, it has been difficult to compare women's earnings because of the large shifts in their workforce participation. This study controls for demographic and labor market differences to create more accurate comparisons between mothers and daughters.
The report finds that middle-class families have particularly benefited from the increase in women's work hours: the number of middle-income households earning more than their parents rose by 13 percentage points. However, despite all of the gains for working women, men's wages are nearly twice as important for determining higher family income.
Among the findings:
- Median hourly wages increased for both women and men compared with the previous generation. At every rung of the economic ladder, women's median wages rose by 50 percent or more, but daughters continue to earn lower hourly wages than fathers did on the same rung.
- Today's generation of women who work full time contribute more than half of family incomes, strengthening financial security. The extent of this contribution, however, varies based on family structure: Working women who are in a couple (either married or cohabiting) supply 45 percent. Working women who are single supply 81 percent, with the remainder of their income from nonwage sources.
- Daughters' higher hours worked are associated with increased rates of upward family earnings mobility, especially in the bottom and middle of the earnings distribution.
- Despite women's significant generational gains, men's wages remain more important to increasing couples' family income, a key factor for upward mobility.
