Washington Post takes note of Vampire course at Gallaudet U

From Daniel de Vise's College Inc. blog for The Washington Post:

The 15 oddest college courses in the D.C. region

Nominees keep rolling in. So, here is a newly expanded list of the 15 most unusual courses offered at colleges in the Washington region. "Odd" does not necessarily connote "bad"; some of these classes actually sound rather rigorous, and I'm sure none is an easy A. . . .

14. Vampires: Their Historical Significance in Literature, Film, and Pop Culture. Gallaudet University. From the description: "This course will examine the phenomenon of Vampirism in verbal and visual culture from various historical periods and from both Eastern and Western cultures including Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, France, England, Sweden, and the United States." A pop-culture counterpoint to the University of Baltimore course on zombies.
