Sabbatical Report

The goal of my Spring 1996 sabbatical leave was to bring international content into the courses in the Parkland College Literature Program. I undertook the following projects: To design an international studies concentration for students in the Liberal Arts Program To review and read extensively in the literature of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East To develop a course in non-western world literature which would meet the nonwestern humanities requirement for the LAS degree To prepare bibliographic materials and identify world literature selections to use as supplementary texts in existing literature course
