Douglas: Hey! I asked for your emails after the seminar with Mary because we’re presenting on the same day. Could I ask each one of you to please give me the title of your presentation, and perhaps which books you’re going to use? Just double-checking to avoid overlap. Hope you don’t mind 😅
Randall: No worries! I’ve chosen US atrocities during the Vietnam War (My Lai massacre).
Randall: Will most likely use Ryan and Belknap. I’m not sure though, I haven’t started with the readings just yet 😅😅😅
Dora: Hey! It’s actually good you’ve asked Douglas. Thanks for this!
Dora: I’ll focus on Winter Soldier
Dora: No secondary lit yet 🤭
Edith: I wanted to focus on how the Vietnam War changed the perception of the Great War. I’ve read a review whose author mentions it in passing and it seemed a nice little subject to talk about. Although, quite obviously, I might have a problem while trying to find any info about this.
Edith: Perhaps I’ll just survey book reviews… 😂😂
Douglas: I’d suggest book reviews randomly selected at Amazon.com. That would be in agreement with the strategy chosen by one of our colleagues. You can allege there has been precedent.
Edith: LOOOL you mean the presentation on random book covers found on Google? That was too funny
Dora: Yeah, I much enjoyed some of the covers actually 🤣
Douglas: Me too 🤭
Douglas: Anyway, thank you so much for the info. I’m going to work on Vietnam memoirs so quite fortunately there seems to be no overlap with your subjects/secondary literature
Douglas: So good luck this Thursday!
Edith: Thanksss
Dora: xx
Ryan will talk about US atrocities in Vietnam War. Dora will do Winter Soldier. Edith prepares the influences Vietnam War had on the perception of the Great War. Douglas works on Vietnam memoirs.
