The 24th International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts (ICFA)
"What Might Be Going To Have Been:
Dark Myths and Legends"
March 19-23, 2003
Ft. Lauderdale Airport Hilton
ICFA 2003 Pedagogy Workshop
Best Laid Plans: Favorite Syllabi for Teaching SF, F & H
Or,
It Isn't Stealing If They Give It To You
Broad Overview
For the first ICFA Pedagogy Workshop, those of us with a magnanimous spirit
will share our favorite syllabus for a science fiction, fantasy or horror
class that we have taught.
Fine Print
Anyone who is interested is welcome to participate. Syllabi that are
submitted before February 15, 2003 will be compiled into a ZIP archive that
will be available on the web and possibly distributed on disk at the
conference. Those who want to participate but retain a Luddite's fear of
electronic distribution are welcome to limit their exposure by bringing
hard copies to the workshop or, for the truly technophobic, by being ready
to recite their syllabus aloud.
Submitted syllabi (one per customer we only want your favorite) should be
stripped of such boilerplate (attendance policies, office hours, etc.) as
would be irrelevant and sent to Craig Jacobsen at
<jacobsen@mail.mc.maricopa.edu> in some Word-compatible format with a
subject line "ICFA Pedagogy Workshop" or something similarly revealatory.
Brief contextualizing remarks would be helpful (Why these texts? Why teach
them in this order? What works in this class? What might be tricky?), but
are not deal breakers.
Statement of Democratic Ideals
Again, anyone is welcome to participate. If you have ever taught, taken, or
thought about teaching or taking, a science fiction, fantasy or horror
class, come and share your insights, experiences and musings.
