Why Study Journalism?
Fall 2025 Courses
Here are rough drafts of the outlines for the courses I’m teaching this fall.
I’ll probably adjust these until the first day of class, so if you want to take a look at what we do in the courses, click on the link and check it out. But what you see might likely change by the start of classes.
- AMST 399 Rock’n’Roll and American Society
- COMJO 150 History and Principles of Journalism
- COMJO 542 Literary Journalism
- COMJO 700 Graduate Symposium
Syllabus Addendum
The link below takes you to Boston University’s policies with regard to Title IX, sexual misconduct, equal opportunity, disability and access services, student athletics, recording of classes and the university’s code of conduct.
This should be considered part of the syllabus for every course I teach.

Here are old course outlines for the classes I teach, just to give you an idea of what we will do if you see one of these listed in an upcoming semester. These will always be altered, but these old outlines give you a general idea of what’s going on.
