Once a given topic has accumulated sufficient material, I then take some time to organize it into an undergraduate-style syllabus: identifying the themes and connections across different works and putting them into dialogue with each-other. Of course, as I review the material again to create the classes, I inevitably learn a lot---as anyone who tries to teach finds out. As I go through, some works may be added to the topic that were originally categorized elsewhere, some works might be moved out of the topic, and some may even be rejected entirely.
