I dunno. I am suspicious of the attempt, somehow. One of the most sublime classes I ever visited (those class visits by tenured faculty of untenured faculty classes): ten or 12 students around a table which they, with their teacher, filled, their heads all bent over their Aeneid texts. The teacher did a lot of the talking, actually. Still, it was all about Vergil. That was the secret. (Impressions confirmed by student interviews, course surveys, so forth.)

How to film sex scenes?

Of course, I did “film” this “sex scene.” But as an informed observer, well known to the students in the class, so not exactly an “outsider” and thereby able to join in as a participant.

Also, a retitling suggestion: “Fantasy Historians League”.

On a side note, I had a student in my evening gender seminar last semester do a bracket as his final project. He did great research to populate the bracket with historical exemplars, but dropped the ball on explaining the criteria of selection and advancement. Getting to that meta and then reconnecting it to practice is always the sticky part in my experience, but this class looks like a promising way to work through the process.
