(Yes I’m procrastinating)
You know for all I’ve been super stressed about my assignments I am so lucky in what I get to do. For two of my modules this semester we got to pick our own assignment topic.
So, for one assignment, I used the Aschen (Stargate SG-1), the Klingon (Star Trek: Discovery) and Wakanda (Black Panther) to explore different aspects of imperialism.
For the other assignment I’m comparing the power structure of the Goa’uld (Stargate SG-1) with the slave trade to analyse Weber’s theory of power.
Sure the academic reading is dense, (I swear they have all swallowed a thesaurus and write convoluted paragraphs on purpose), but that would be true whatever the topic. This way I have the amazing compensation of getting to write about Stargate.
I mean how many people get to write essays using their favourite TV show ever?
