Professor Krystyn Moon’s seminar on the history of consumerism in the 20th century is taking a fascinating approach to their topic. They’re not only blogging their reflections on the various texts they are reading throughout the semester, they have also created a group blog for the course wherein everyone features a product on their own personal wish list. I find this a fascinating experiment wherein a class openly inhabits the very space that they are critically examining. Who says personal happiness can’t be equated with the critical examination of purchasing material possessions? Check out their course blog, and do some virtual window shopping.
