I think some Schmidtz and more pulpy female authors probably would be useful/helpful, but most of your segments would make a pretty solid upper division college/standalone grad level course. And some of 'em are pretty packed. (tho I guess you could do the psionics in SF course, which lets you show off Garrett as well as pulpier female authors, Schmidtz and the dialogue with Heinlein and some of the other "respectable" types)
I can see why you're using Jone's Dalemark quartet, and from a bend their mind into pretzels standpoint, I'd prefer the Chrestomanci secondary world.
Unless the secondary work on SF has advanced a lot in the last 10 years, you'll have a terrible time finding stuff that applies to Bradbury and A Clockwork Orange. Nevermind anything that is likely to be fun for the students.
