The entire universe--all of time and all of space--where do you want to go? In this seminar we examine the 50-year history of Doctor Who. We’ll look at how the TARDIS works; both as a time machine and a space ship; the companions over the years; and how they have changed over time; and the aliens and other opponents the Doctor has faced; as well as topics such as mythological influences and gender. Weekly assignments include watching an episode or two and some reading. ; we’ll also gather to watch the 60th anniversary special in November. Students will give a final presentation on an analytical or creative topic of their choice.
