Hi,

As a professor in training...any suggestions for what type of literature
courses Butler's works would be a good choice to explore? What came to mind
immediately was perhaps a literature course dealing with gender issues,
noting the way in Parable how the people in Lauren's immediate circle seem to
hold to 1950ish values about society in such a time that displays the society
to be so dystopian through deterioration that society.

Any thoughts would be welcome
