I have an entire semester's worth of material I can give you.<br /><br />Also, get a syllabus from one of your new colleagues who has taught this, so as to get an idea of what their expectations are.

In the past 5 years, I've become an expert in Colonial Latin American lit and culture. Even though my field is late XXth and XXIth century Latin American literature and cinema. And let's not go into the course where half of it was Medieval Spanish literature.Spanish profhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248530328973177920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-14157297529209451372012-05-05T23:38:50.410-04:002012-05-05T23:38:50.410-04:00Welcome to my world.

I had to teach YA literature in my first semester on the TT, and aside from The Hunger Games, I had nothing to teach. The bad news is that this sort of situation is über stressful. The good news is that after you teach a class or two like this -- ones where you have little to no knowledge -- you can teach damn near anything. That makes you more marketable for future jobs. Good luck! At least you realized this now instead of in August.Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-66234642596790027122012-05-05T23:19:19.559-04:002012-05-05T23:19:19.559-04:00Oh, and forgot to mention: I've anticipated yo...Oh, and forgot to mention: I've anticipated your first suggestion. Already put out a call to my old grad school friends on FB.

I'm no stranger to that discipline — I actually have an entire draft syllabus for <i>Pseudology of Fruit Studies</i> up my sleeve. There are higher-level studies like you suggest, but just like you have to crawl before you walk, you have to learn how to slander at all before you can be trusted to slander fruit.Dr. Kosharyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777054788430587906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7404056807161357402.post-67199788778446623342012-05-05T22:58:28.651-04:002012-05-05T22:58:28.651-04:00Mwahahahaha love the post title!

This will broaden your cv and make your teaching chops look snazzy! (although it will be painful this summer/year --- just work through the pain and build those pseudology muscles).<br /><br />Lemme know if I can be of any help. I got the Fruit Studies stuff down --- surely that must go on a Slander syllabus!Sisyphushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880634753539329199noreply@blogger.com
