    Dear all, 

    Please keep checking this space before your weekly session, as I will be posting the latest announcements about the seminar here.

    Please browse through the seminar outline and reader below. Please check/read/watch the readings/videos for the first session beforehand. You may find that some readings in the reader are still missing (yellow marked), and will be added at a later date.

    Kindly note that you are expected to obtain a copy of the primary texts/novels. Please let me know if that is a problem, and I will look into solutions.

    Looking forward to meeting you all.
