The American Renaissance (February 16, 2016)
In preparation for the mid-February launch of the AmRenX MOOC, the course team has been focusing on video post-production, identifying course resources, and creating course materials.
The team has also developed a special course website to provide additional content for students in advance of the course. It contains the course reading list, an article by Jed Dobson on "ways of reading," and a link to research resources, supported by Digital Humanities and English Librarian, Laura Braunstein. Jed has also written a nice piece for students about "Christmas During the American Renaissance."
We're looking forward to this course launch!
