Hartsock will teach a graduate seminar in literary journalism, his area of research, to doctoral students from Sept. 27-Oct 22.

In related news, Hartsock was the subject of an interview by the Washington Post last week on the potential role of narrative literary journalism in newspapers. Interviewed by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Brigid Shulte, he discussed how narrative literary journalism can attract more readers at a time when newspapers, including the Post, have been losing circulation. The interview is part of a Post project called “Story Lab,” which is dedicated to exploring the future of journalism. The interview can be accessed at http://blog.washingtonpost.com/story-lab/2010/04/narrative_journalism_a_convers.html
In other scholarship news, Hartsock published his article “Literary Reportage: The ‘Other’ Literary Journalism” in the most recent issue of the journal Genre: Forms of Discourse and Culture.
