Congratulations, Joe!
Joe Sutliff Sanders, IAFA's newest Division Head (CYA) and one of the founders of SCIAFA, the association's student caucus, has landed a position teaching in the Department of English at Illinois Wesleyan University.
"The funniest part of the experience," says Joe, "is that I proposed a slate of classes to them they liked, all except one. I proposed a World Literature course because I wanted to show that I can do it all, and they said that though it was a cool course, that would make me overlap too much with some other professor. So they said, and I quote, 'But I see here you have an interest in comic books; could I talk you into teaching a course on that?'"
Joe will be teaching on families in literature, children in literature, and 19th-century US women's culture. And comics.
Congratulations again, Joe, and best wishes from your colleagues in IAFA.
