Instructional/educational philosophy and goals:
FALL 2009 ONLINE COURSE INFORMATION:
INSTRUCTOR CONTACT INFO FOR STUDENTS: athomas@ccsf.edu

1) For both GLST 5 and GLST 15 Class opens on August 17th.

2) The URL for the course will be insight.ccsf.edu

GLST 5: Introduction to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies is completely online. There are no on campus required or optional meetings.

GLST 15 - Pre-Stonewall Queer Writers, Lives, and Cultures is completely online. HOWEVER, there are 3-4 films you will need to see in the semester. I recommend Netflix, the public library, or your favorite eclectic video store. The important thing is to look at the syllabus the first week and see the films earlier than the weeks they are due. There is a possibility of one on campus film - I will let you know. If you do not live in the Bay Area, I advise that you use NetFlix. If you are an international student, please let me know and we will figure something out!

Book for GLST 5: QUEER CULTURES ed. by Carlin and DiGrazia

Books for GLST 15: 1) HIDDEN FROM HISTORY eds. Duberman, Vicinus, and Chauncey 2) Wilde's DE PROFUNDIS 3) Hall's THE WELL OF LONELINESS 4) Mishima's CONFESSIONS OF A MASK 5) Baldwin's GIOVANNI'S ROOM 6) Bannon's BEEBO BRINKER - please be aware that HIDDEN FROM HISTORY IS TECHNICALLY OUT OF PRINT - IT IS AVAILABLE AT VARIOUS ONLINE BOOKSELLERS.
