In an environment of increasing digital distraction, courses exploring nineteenth-century literature and culture ask students to engage with some of literature’s lengthiest texts. How can we encourage meaningful engagement with nineteenth century “loose, baggy monsters” in today’s university? What resources can we call upon to better engage our students and support their learning in light of the rise of AI and the challenges of online distraction?

This seminar asks what it means to teach the “world” in fields such as world cinema, world literature, comparative literature, and global media studies. Courses organized around the world often promise breadth, diversity, and cross-cultural understanding, but they also face practical and conceptual problems. What counts as the world? How does the nation appear in “world” courses? How do syllabi balance coverage, depth, translation, historical context, aesthetics, and political urgency? How do institutional expectations and restrictions mold the student imagination of the “world”? How does the positionality of the instructor presuppose, structure, or influence the “world” classroom? 

This seminar is about wonder. Specifically, we want to explore how wonder might enliven and invigorate our profession in a time of many pressures, if not crises, in higher education. Why wonder? From the ancients, who claimed that philosophy begins in wonder, to contemporary philosophers like William Desmond, who articulates wonder as a primal experience of “astonishment at the too-muchness of being,” wonder has been identified as a starting point from which to think, and therefore—as we might more closely consider—read, write, and teach.
