We are a group of nine students at Luther College, known to some as the "Weirdos." This tour is the culminating group project of our upper-level English class entitled "Global Weirding," taught by Professor Andy Hageman. This project was completed in December 2024.
This course took us on a deep dive into exploring how the out-of-the-ordinary appears in our own lives and in the stories we encounter in literature and film.
Meet our group below, and learn some weird fun facts about us!
