Since I’m feeling far too lazy to write a whole new post, I thought I would share a course that I had to design for one of my classes the past semester. It was a fun project and the first time I was asked to create my own syllabus, course materials, and a week’s worthContinue reading “Invasion Nation (Example Literature Course Syllabus)”

#Blackouttuesday and Reading Recommendations
Reading about things is probably not the most active way to help the current situation, but I believe that it’s still important (along with other ways to contribute, including through methods compiled in this link: blacklivesmatters.carrd.co). Reading recommendations below are completely arbitrary based on my own limited bookshelf/knowledge but could be worthwhile summer reads: 1)Continue reading “#Blackouttuesday and Reading Recommendations”
READ! Disappearing Mothers in Lisa Ko’s The Leavers and Shin Kyung-Sook’s Please Look After Mom
Hello, I’m back after another long absence! Despite it being summer break, I haven’t made posts any more frequently than during the school semester (to be fair, I just survived taking summer Chinese language classes—don’t think it will actually help me in my research, but it was actually a lot of fun!). I want toContinue reading “READ! Disappearing Mothers in Lisa Ko’s The Leavers and Shin Kyung-Sook’s Please Look After Mom”
READ! The Sellout by Paul Beatty
I survived my first year of graduate school! It’s been about two weeks since I finished the semester, which I’ve been thoroughly enjoying after months of self-doubt, crying, and worrying about final papers. I went back to visit NYC (it’s been exactly a year since I graduated from NYU, and it was strange toContinue reading “READ! The Sellout by Paul Beatty”
READ! X-Marks: Native Signatures of Assent
So far, my resolve to make one post a week is not going well. I’ve been reading a lot of amazing things and producing writing for classes, but man is grad school (or maybe it’s a life thing) tiring! I read Scott Lyons’ X-Marks: Native Signatures of Assent a few weeks ago, and I was justContinue reading “READ! X-Marks: Native Signatures of Assent”
READ! The Monster by Stephen Crane
Making regular blog posts is proving to be difficult—but if I can’t make posts that are particularly insightful or original, I thought the least I could do is share some of the cool stuff I’ve been reading for my classes (and there has there been a lot of reading). I’ve read only oneContinue reading “READ! The Monster by Stephen Crane”
READ! East Goes West: The Making of an Oriental Yankee
When I first moved to New Zealand from Korea in first grade, I knew nothing about Korean literature beyond Korean folktales I read in the form of picture books. I only opened my eyes to the joys of reading when I started reading in English, first to better my grasp of this new foreign languageContinue reading “READ! East Goes West: The Making of an Oriental Yankee”
The Overwhaleming Moby Dick
Reading Moby Dick for the first week of grad school seemed oddly fitting to my recent experiences at orientations bombarding me with new information, and new classes in which I was exposed to unfamiliar names, concepts and theories that the other students animatedly discussed in the face of my shrinking self-confidence. The monstrous book isContinue reading “The Overwhaleming Moby Dick”
