Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a third year majoring in philosophy at the University of Chicago. My favorite philosopher is Emmanuel Levinas, and I love reading graphic novels, cooking, and going to baseball games.

In college you will often hear people complain about certain social science and literature courses, or even entire academic disciplines by claiming that they consist of "talking about our feelings all day." Well, this course will be an exercise in doing exactly that. You and your classmates will be able to control the direction of the course, depending on how you feel - making it either an academic discussion of your feelings, a discussion on the role of and approach to feelings in academia, a consciousness-raising session, or just sitting around and kvetching. The goals of the course are to examine how we talk about our feelings, how it relates to the classroom experience, and perhaps just to unwind for a bit on a Saturday afternoon.
