Stranded!

This course will examine popular works (films, TV programs, books) about explorers, travelers and voyagers who have been shipwrecked.  Where do the castaways find hope for rescue? Where do they find companionship?  What fears are revealed in the moment of isolation?

This course is tentatively set to be offered on Wednesdays at 4 p.m.

Note: Please check the schedule of classes for the most up-to-date information about meeting times, locations, and availability.
