That's because today Academia takes every subject and attempts to give them credit by turning them into a college class, like somehow that gives authenticity to the field. Class after class of fantasy study, I ask myself "I must be waiting for something that tells me that fantasy has more, or just as much didactic value as realist fiction", but nope, just magical lands and good for the sake of good and evil for the sake of evil. Im not mad at you specifically, but I just want to say that if kids need a college class to critically read and enjoy fantasy then something's wrong.

My final Question, do you think that its really easy to add courses because Unis wnt spots to fill so that can make more money?

Oh? An almost completely useless genre that only has value in escapism and is otherwise saturated with mostly racist stereotypes based on a false perception of other cultures? Literally the only thing worse than majoring in English is wasting scholastic resources on something as pointless as the study of fantasy. Literally child's play.

Question: Do you prefer illustrations of magic like in Grossman's magicians or something more classic like LOTR. Also what are your thoughts on Dawn Treader vs Mieville's The Scar?
