=ENH277: Genre Studies= Since I can't figure out how to create a new page, I'll paste my latest revision in below. Given the naming conventions of new courses, I don't think the alliterative titles will work, for both length and format reasons. I'm afraid that the thematic won't either, but for format rather than length, so we might be able to make an argument. I've started to get the draft into proper submission format.
