Following
\nup the week\u2019s semester reflections series, here are a few upcoming things\u2014teaching-wise
\nand otherwise\u2014I\u2019m looking forward to!<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>A Return to Honors Lit: I\u2019ve got lots of
\nupcoming classes of course, including one over the summer (a quick version of American
\nLit II) and the usual balance of things in the Fall (a couple First-Year
\nWritings and another Am Lit II, for example). But one for the Fall semester for
\nwhich I\u2019m especially excited is my return to our Honors
\nLiterature Seminar<\/a>, after a number of years where other folks have taught
\nthat course. I gave brief thought to reinventing the syllabus a bit (something
\nwe should always at least consider I believe), but at the end of the day I can\u2019t
\nimagine a more relevant Fall 2025 subject than America
\nin the Gilded Age<\/a>, and I\u2019m really excited to work with another group of our
\namazing Honors students to read and discuss and analyze literary, cultural, and
\nhistorical texts from that all-too-familiar era. <\/span><\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>A Public Scholarly Website: When it comes to
\nmy own scholarly work, I remain uncertain about when and whether I\u2019ll return to
\nbook-length projects, at least in writing\u2014I\u2019m definitely interested in another \u201cseason\u201d
\nof my podcast<\/a>, as I discussed in that post (and for which I\u2019d still love
\nsuggestions!). But I\u2019m also excited about another scholarly project, one my
\nwife and I have begun discussing: creating a public scholarly website that can
\nhost each of our work in multiple forms, but also and especially serve as a
\ncommunity that can both share others\u2019 existing work and offer folks a place
\nwhere they can create and publish new work. Much more on that to follow, but
\nplease let me know, here or by
\nemail<\/a>, if you have interest, ideas, anything you\u2019d like to contribute to
\nthat evolving conversation! <\/span><\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Two Sons in College!: Do I need to say more?!
\nActually, I definitely do, but I\u2019m drafting this post before we have a definite
\nanswer about where my younger
\nson Kyle<\/a> will end up, and I\u2019ll add a further note once that\u2019s settled. But
\nwhat I can say no matter what is that, sad as the thought makes me in some ways
\nof course, I\u2019m also really excited to have both boys be part of these
\ncommunities and conversations, and to be able to share here all the places
\ntheir education and lives take them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Next
\nseries starts Monday,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben<\/span><\/p>\n

PS. What\u2019s
\ncoming up for you? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
