I will be out of town, at an international comics conference in Angouleme, France, next week. Graduate student Jennifer Zee (jzee@umich.edu) will be teaching the class January 24 & 26. She will contact you about where to meet each day- I believe she'll have you meet on main campus one of these days.
See you in a couple weeks,
Professor G.
