I'd love to collaborate on projects. E-mail me at jbcarter2 at utep dot edu and maybe we can get the ball rolling. Is your book out yet? I definitely want to buy a copy!
Hey Katie, Ryan sent me your info. because he thought you'd be an awesome resource for me.
I'm currently working on developing a semester course that uses Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman to study American mythology, pop culture and sociology.
I was planning to use Greek mythology as a jumping off point to introduce concept and purpose of mythology and then move into the Comic Wonder Women: Who is wonder women. While reading we will study terms for graphic lit, how to read a comic as well as looking into the context in which WW was created and the social context.
This is where I'm at right now. But I am open to ideas and suggestions for Batman: Dark Night Returns and Superman: Death of Superman or Wonder Women and how to address the course topics. (sorry if I'm rambling).
I am the only English teacher in my program thus I am very receptive to discussing ideas with others and Ryan considered you an expert.
all the best
and congrats on the book --it looks awesome!
