| | |  Harry Potter college course
Students at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin will be able to enroll in a course called "Thinking About Harry Potter" during their fall term of next year. The course will be taught by Edmund M. Kern, the author of The Wisdom of Harry Potter: What Our Favorite Hero Teaches Us About Moral Choices. However, students may only enroll in the course with the consent of Kern.
The course will focus on Harry as not only a literary phenomenon, but as the biggest pop-cultural event of the ear. It will also explore Rowling's references to history, legend, and myth, take up debates about their contested aesthetic merit and ethical values, and take stock of their broader social and political implications. Quote:
Today's college students are like no others in history," said Kern. "They had the chance to grow up right along with Harry Potter. I'd be foolish to pass up the teaching opportunities that those circumstances offer me."
