Below are links to syllabi and reading lists I have put
together and used to teach undergraduate courses at
Miami University.
These courses reflect my interest in mass media studies
in general and film studies in particular. They focus on
the western interdisciplinary theories and methods that
can be applied to various texts and practices, such as
formalism, structuralism, psychoanalysis,
poststructuralism, political economy, cultural studies,
and feminism. One course focuses on the nondualistic
eastern philosophies of Vedanta, Buddhism, yoga, and
tantra. For some ideas about how these interests all
intersect, see my thesis at www.ohiolink.edu/etd.
All documents are in Microsoft Word.

Conventional education makes independent thinking extremely difficult. Conformity leads to mediocrity. To be different from the group or to resist environment is not easy and is often risky as long as we worship success. The urge to be successful, which is the pursuit of reward, whether in the material or in the so-called spiritual sphere, the search for inward or outward security, the desire for comfort-- this whole process smothers discontent, puts an end to spontaneity and breeds fear; and fear blocks the intelligent understanding of life. -- J. Krishnamurti |
