Well, I found out a few days ago that I have been switched out of the Holocaust class and will now be teaching two sections of a class called "History of Modern South Asia." In some ways it is a relief--teaching the Holocaust would have been really draining. But then I was looking forward to it, also. It seems like a subject where the students would be really excited to learn and understand.
The extent of my knowledge of India is the movie "Ghandi." This should be interesting--I'll keep you posted. I'll have to keep just ahead of the students by reading like crazy, but I'll still probably be saying "I'll get back to you on that question" a lot.
