Monsters are always fascinating to contemplate, but it's equally interesting to peel away the title of monster and see what's underneath.  As a college rhetoric professor I've taught a course on Monsters & Society, so I've been researching monsters in history this past year.  This class will challenge students to think about why monsters hook our attention.  More importantly, students will become active learners in an attempt to figure out what these creatures might have been in our known world and how pranksters and the media can work side by side to exploit a gullible public.
