CNX 185 - Who Reads Books?

Description
Who Reads Books? will examine each word in this title, as a way to understand the many connections among readers, reading, and books. What can we learn from sociology and economics about the demographics of readers? What can we learn from psychology and biology about the cognition of reading? What can we learn from history and art about the materiality, and immateriality, of books across time? We will be self-conscious and reflective about our examination, with the expectation that we become critical readers and writers. The class will actually write and produce a book for the F&M campus to read.-
