Kassanoff, Jennie Silver_nugget
House & Home in American Culture

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

Although this course sounds like it should be a Home Ec class, it's actually a survey of the cultural implications of various American living spaces of the past and present. The course focuses not on the house itself, but how the home space acts within the context of the reading. Jennie is smart as a whip, and you'll find yourself articulating your thoughts intellectually in the discussions that account for most of the time spent in the classroom.

Workload:

Extensive reading; three reaction papers on the texts of your choice; midterm project allows room for freedom of expression and creativity; final is author-quote-context matchup and short essay form.
