After using Susan Sontag and John Berger's books in my courses for a number of years, I decided to design an interdisciplinary seminar on the intersections between literature and photography and an upper-level Women's Studies course on poets, photographers, and visual culture. Preparing for these courses has inspired me to develop a cluster of scholarly projects on poems by Gwendolyn Brooks, Elizabeth Bishop, and Ezra Pound and on the novels of W.G. Sebald.
