SOWK335(001) – 2012-2013
On the other hand, we may be subjected to a film. Anyone heard of a guy named Michel

Readings: none! (How about that!) – But wait a minute. Each student brings to class the
title of a book, film or paper that extends or deals in some way with the subjects of this
module and that s/he has been inspired to look at as a result of this section of 335. We
create a giant reading list. Some students quit the programme and complete their
education by reading everything on the list. The professor is fired and spends the rest of
his career (like many academics) reading about social change.
[Frank will be away in Washington this week and the class will be managed by one of
his doctoral students.]
