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.
