Discussion and analysis of novels and other literary works that portray utopias or dystopias, and of real world efforts to build utopias as social experiments.  Each student will choose one literary utopia or dystopia and one real world experiment to discuss with the seminar and to present to students in an undergraduate Social Movements class.  The class will meet online from 7:20 to 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday evenings as a small group and on Thursday evenings together with the Social Movements class.  We will use video conferencing software so students must have broadband internet access and a computer with a microphone, headphones and a video camera (available inexpensively).  Enrollment is by permission of instructor.
