Week Eight: Good Kings, Bad Kings

Kristin's picture

For Tuesday, March 15, please read Susan Nussbaum's novel Good Kings, Bad Kings. 

As you read, think back to our reading of Eli Clare the first week: “.. .gender reaches into disability; disability wraps around class; class strains against abuse; abuse snarls into sexuality; sexuality folds on top of race. . . everything finally piling into a single human body" (Exile and Pride). We will talk about these intersections as we discuss the novel. 

Also, please read one another's mid-semester projects on Serendip and comment on one or more (many more, if you wish!) of your classmates's projects, including one that has not yet been commented on.

If you wish, feel free to add a post about Good Kings, Bad Kings too. Not required.
