Helen Warfle wrote a new blog post Why should we care about worldbuilding? in the group American Studies: 4 years, 5 months ago
Worldbuilding is not something we usually have to think too hard about, mostly because it’s something we’re not intended to think about. A well-built fictional world is meant to be seamlessly immersive, or els […]

Helen Warfle wrote a new blog post The Vocabulary of Learning in the group American Studies: 4 years, 10 months ago
I’ve always been fascinated by language, perhaps in part due to my own difficulty with the spoken aspect of it. I like to write but I hate to talk. I am a fast talker, a remnant of a childhood speech impediment, a […]

I don’t like to admit when I’m struggling, but I have to say, I have been having a difficult time with The Souls of Black Folk recently. I didn’t realize that I was until we read “Of the Passing of the First B […]

Helen Warfle edited the blog post The One Where I Talk Too Much About Maps in the group American Studies: 5 years ago

I find myself to be continually intrigued by the phrase “as now printed,” found in “The Forethought” chapter of Souls of Black Folk (6). The edition we have says that this note was written at the same time as the […]

Helen Warfle wrote a new blog post The Craziness of Jemisin’s World in the group American Studies: 5 years, 4 months ago
I love etymology, so I couldn’t resist Professor McCoy’s suggestion that we look up the etymology of crazy. As always, I was surprised how much of a connection I found to The Broken Earth Trilogy.
