DESCRIPTION:Most of us read myths and folk/fairy stories when we were young
 \, and perhaps now we read them to our children or grandchildren. These st
 ories\, with their quests\, struggles\, and vanities\, have embedded thems
 elves in our cultural consciousness. Even if we scoff at them as adults\, 
 many of their themes and characters still compel our sometimes-reluctant i
 nterest. Who has not wanted to be the chosen one\, or the brave one\, or t
 he clever one? Who has not shivered a little at the witch\, the ogre\, the
  dragon\, in whatever forms they take in our lives? More particularly\, wh
 at might we take for granted (“It’s only a story. . . ”) about the w
 ays in which females and the feminine are represented in those stories? Wh
 y is the witch bad and the wizard wise? Why do so many girl characters get
  in trouble when they are curious or a little too pretty?\n\nThis four-wee
 k seminar will focus on ways in which women have been represented in myths
 \, tales\, and culture\, and the ways in which women writers and artists h
 ave challenged those representations. We will ask questions\, ponder reaso
 ns\, and perhaps in the process find that these “old wives’ tales” a
 re “curiouser and curiouser” than we imagined. We’ll let Alice\, who
  was bored with lessons and very\, very curious\, be our tour guide down a
 nd through the rabbit hole of myth and its imprint on women within culture
 .\n\nClasses are a combination of lecture and discussion\, which will ofte
 n be in the form of group exchanges regarding the texts we are reading. Pa
 rticipation and discussion is encouraged\, as the class explore ideas toge
 ther.\n\n \n\nAbout The Instructor\n\nDelia Fisher has taught various high
  school\, community college\, and university English courses over a long c
 areer as a teacher. She moved to Eugene in 1984 to teach in the University
  of Oregon departments of English and Multi-Cultural Affairs. Returning to
  graduate school\, she completed her Ph.D. at the University of Oregon in 
 1997\, focusing on American literature and women writers.\n\nIn the years 
 following\, she and her husband (also a literature professor) taught at Au
 burn University in Alabama until 2001\, and then at Westfield State Univer
 sity in Massachusetts. Delia taught a variety of classes at WSU and then w
 as selected to coordinate the English Education Program\, teaching and men
 toring students who sought teacher certification.\n\nIn 2010\, she retired
  and came home to Eugene. Since 2018\, Delia has taught literature courses
