Iisalmi, Finland 24th February, 1999

Hello all,

I am a post-graduate student of the English Department in the University
of Jyvaskyla, Finland, althopugh I reside in Iisalmi, where I am
currently working as a teacher of English, drama and
substance abuse at a social and health polytechnic.

The area of my interest is drama as the target of discourse analysis
in the field of cultural studies. My topic is James Baldwin's
controversial play "Blues for Mr. Charlie" (1964), in which I am
reading race and gender in conflicts between its main characters. I am
currently trying to find both literature dealing with drama as discourse
(haven't found any so far) and, more importantly a third reader for my
future Doctorate, who should come from outside our Department. I am
currently in the process of starting to write the first draft of the
Thesis and would welcome all the help I could get.

Yours sincerely,

Jari Kokkinen
