Department: English
Professor Jeffrey Cohen
Project Description: I am working on a co-authored book on the long history of Noah’s ark type stories, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to movies like Snowpiercer. The book is about the intimacy of the Genesis Flood narrative to the stories we tell about climate change.
Duties: The research assistant would confer with me regularly to track down primary and secondary sources and create an annotated bibliogaphy. I can be flexible about the amount of time if a student would like to do this for more credit. Anyone interested in the environment or in the humanities would be good for this.
Time Commitment/Credits: 1-3 hours per week (average); 1 credit hour
To Apply: Submit Cover Letter/Resume to jjcohen@gwu.edu
