Hello Readers!
Below are some snapshots taken from Dr. Jan Susina's lecture in March. Dr. Susina's lecture focused on the various Walt Disney Company productions and adaptations of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland. His historicizing of Disney's infamous (and now popular) Alice in Wonderland drew quite a crowd from our SDSU faculty and student body. One of our NCSCL Graduate Assistants, Andrea Kade, had a few undergraduate students from her RWS class attend the lecture and write up a blog of their own for an extra credit assignment.
