State University of New York at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 11794 Krin Gabbard Associate Professor Comparative Literature 212 749-1631 18-Dec-1995 10:55pm EST FROM: KGABBARD TO: Remote Addressee ( [log in to unmask] ) TO: Remote Addressee ( [log in to unmask] ) Subject: U-G Major in Film and Lit I send seasonal greetings to my colleagues on H-Film and Screen-L as I ask for some help. As you may have read in your copy of the NY Times, the mad-slasher who is governor of New York is hacking away at budgets for the State University at the same time that we are being asked to create programs that will attract more undergraduates. At Stony Brook, we have never had sufficient staff to run a real film studies major, but with many of our "traditional" programs in language and literature now in danger of being retrenched or consolidated, some of us are thinking of proposing an undergrad major that combines film studies with literary studies. I would be very interested in finding out if other schools have a major in film and literature. Does anyone out there teach in such a program or know someone who does? If so, how is it administered? What courses are required? Is there some structure to the requirements? Any other information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for anything you might send my way. All the best, Krin Gabbard ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
