Stealing from other Students, Nancy Zink

Source/Name/Place: Nancy Zink



Role of Person: former student, mystery novel class (also former supervisor at DVC)



Contact: ucb ext. myster novel course msg. board/also at dvc email



Notes: Zink's project was a dossier of Berkeley crime via author Susan Dunlap



Acton I contacted Nancy, since I know her, via email about her project on Dunap and asked her suggestion for my own course.



New Leads: Susan Dunlap (author), protagonist = Jill Smith. I'm also curious about Veejay Haskell as one of Dunlap's progat. as Haskell is my former last name and some of the titles of these books are intriguing: Slugfest... Dunlap writes w/Berkeley as the setting, more importantly with themes of social activism, "championing the little guy" and a socially conscious radial lawyer. The epitome of Berkeley, CA.

Hey! Isn't that great that two of my students actually know each other in the "real" world?

It's reassuring to have independent corroboration on my student's existence outside my computer . . .
