What makes a text a work of Catholic literature? How do Catholic writers struggle with the existential questions of meaning, purpose, or suffering in a unique fashion? How do the themes they engage—such as forgiveness, redemption, or the power of grace in the world—place them within the Catholic tradition? Is there a sacramental imagination or incarnational theology at the root of a work of Catholic literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Catholic literature in both English and translation from the medieval era through the present. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement; it also satisfies a Traditions 200-level course requirement for Catholic Studies majors and a Historical Perspectives requirement for English majors. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed class with English, with 10 seats available on the CATH 222 side and 10 seats available on the ENGL 222 side.

This course, team-taught by a historian and a literary scholar, focuses on the long struggle of African Americans for justice and equality in the U.S. Analyzing literary and historical texts, students in this course will learn about and engage in research on African American history and culture. Utilizing historical, literary, and cultural approaches, this interdisciplinary course will immerse students into an exploration of the African American experience from multiple perspectives using dual disciplinary frameworks. For example, students may study Richard Wright’s NATIVE SON, but would read the text within the historical and cultural framework of the Great Migration, connecting Wright’s text not just to other literary texts, but situating it within an historical and cultural context vital to the novel’s creation and essential for its interpretation. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the English core requirement and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement.

Our course theme is “transformation,” which highlights the ways individuals reinvent themselves in new and challenging circumstances. A change in thinking or environment can lead to the achievement of creative individuality, but this liberation sometimes comes with a sense of loss. While exploring this theme, we will read works by literary masters such as Mary Shelley, along with a wide range of works by contemporary writers such as Ben Okri, Tara Westover, and Jon Krakauer. The course will also include live lectures from cutting-edge prose writers: Colum McCann and Kiese Laymon. Through reading, writing, and discussion, you will sharpen and refine your critical thinking and communication skills.

Since the days of Leonardo da Vinci, writers of natural history have straddled science and literature in their attempts to understand the world. We'll read and analyze the works of great naturalists and incorporate some of their strategies--empirical observation, reporting, academic research, memoir--into our own writing. Authors may include Italian biologist Francesco Redi; French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre; U.S. poet Robert Frost; and others. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and counts towards the Sustainability minor. Please note that ENGL 201 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 202, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

This course explores films directed by Martin Scorsese as well as the literature that inspired his screenplays, from nonfiction by Nicholas Pileggi and David Gran to fiction by Edith Wharton to critical articles and interviews examining Scorsese’s oeuvre. As an auteur survey, we will look at Scorsese’s early short films and break out films like Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976) and then continue with Scorsese’s films in the late twentieth and early twenty-fist centuries. Thematically, these films frequently feature organized crime and systemic corruption in America, exploring how crime functions within and outside the law (Casino, 1995; The Departed, 2006). Stylistically, many have been groundbreaking in their use of first-person voice over narration, a narrative device used in many noir films of the 1940s but with new vitality in films like Good Fellas (1990) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). In addition, historical dramas like Gangs of New York (2002) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) explore crime in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries of America, illustrating a continuum of corruption into the present day. Scorsese’s films never shy away from the violence of American greed, whether it’s New York in the 1860s or the Gilded Age or the Great Depression, whether it’s in Oklahoma or on Wall Street or inside a boxing ring. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and a Film Studies major/minor requirement. Please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with ten seats available on the FILM 297-W01 side and ten seats available on the ENGL 202-W01 side.

Likely authors to be read include Swift, Edgeworth, Yeats, Joyce, Heaney, Boland, O'Brien, and Doyle. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement, a Global Perspectives requirement, and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. It also satisfies a requirement for the minor in Irish Studies. Prerequisite: None. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with Irish Studies. There are 10 seats on the ENGL side and 10 seats on the IRST side.

Narrative Medicine Minor Appr
CommGood/Community-Engaged
Writing Intensive
Increasingly, education for nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals includes the practices of reading literature, writing reflectively, and engaging in role-play to learn how to care for patients (and for themselves). This is sometimes called narrative medicine. By focusing on stories (of the patient, the healthcare professional, and the cultures and systems in which both live) and therefore humanizing the often-impersonal world of the healthcare system, it improves the quality of care for patients and reduces burnout among healthcare professionals. In this course we will read and write about literature as a means of understanding ourselves and others. The texts we'll read illuminate questions about pain and illness, empathy and the training of healthcare professionals, the health implications of racial and economic injustice, and the need for reformation of the healthcare system. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, a requirement for the English minor in Narrative Medicine, and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. Please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

The difficult contradictions in our criminal legal system – which purportedly aims to reduce violence, addictions, and crime, to keep us safe, and promote justice – hide in plain sight. Thus we simultaneously recognize and do not recognize these contradictory realities: the violence and injustices that often occur in our jails and prisons, profound disparities in legal representation and sentencing bound up with race, class, and nationality, and a host of tangled methods and aims often in conflict with one another. While "crime" news reports, movies, and series keep certain stories ever present in our societal imagination, they tend to obscure deeper stories. In this class, we'll attempt to enter into and understand those deeper stories using both media and texts; writers may include Michelle Alexander, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Brittany Barnett, Johann Hari, Martin Luther King, and Bryan Stevenson. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

The Midwest is a geographically sprawling region with astounding environmental diversity and a long history of continuous inhabitation and cataclysmic change - from indigenous societies to colonization, from an agricultural utopia to sprawling urban landscapes. It is home to environmental features essential to the American imagination – the Mississippi, the Great Plains, the Great Lakes. Stories and cultures of its inhabitants have celebrated its beauty and diversity and have born witness to, and often participated in, its transformation. This course will take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the connection between environment and culture in the American Midwest. We’ll study literature, film, history, and works from social and environmental science to help us understand the complexity of Midwest environments and the ways humans have changed and been changed by them. We’ll explore basic principles of critical theory and apply these theories to better understand how race, class, gender, and ecological orientation shape the stories we tell about place. We’ll pay particular attention to patterns in stories and environmental knowledge about the Midwest that help us make sense of change and prepare for the environmental changes becoming a part of our everyday experience. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and counts towards the Sustainability minor. Please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

How has the category of “English literature” expanded as a result of global changes over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? How have authors responded to fundamental upheavals in the individual, religion, the British Empire, the role of women, and the value of poetry and art? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings in the British literary tradition from approximately 1789 to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as revolution and reform, authorship, war, nationality and race, and the relationships between literature and other arts.

What makes a text a work of Catholic literature? How do Catholic writers struggle with the existential questions of meaning, purpose, or suffering in a unique fashion? How do the themes they engage—such as forgiveness, redemption, or the power of grace in the world—place them within the Catholic tradition? Is there a sacramental imagination or incarnational theology at the root of a work of Catholic literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Catholic literature in both English and translation from the medieval era through the present. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement; it also satisfies a Historical Perspectives requirement for English majors and a a Traditions 200-level course requirement for Catholic Studies majors. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed class with Catholic Studies, with 10 seats available on the ENGL 222 side and 10 seats available on the CATH 222 side.

This course traces the genealogies of abolition from the efforts to end slavery in this country through contemporary calls to abolish the prison industrial complex. Briefly, in its contemporary incarnation, Abolition is a political method and practice that calls into question existing punishment systems and political and economic formations that perpetuate violence. In this course, we will explore the work of those who practice this philosophy, extending their invitation to dream boldly and lead with care and accountability in how we respond to harm and violence. We will engage literature that helps us understand the essence of abolition and why people across generations have found it useful. We will also familiarize ourselves with contemporary abolitionist practices in the world and invite our learning community to interrogate collectively root causes of violence and imagine a world we long for. We will read essays by Gloria Anzaldúa, W.E.B. DuBois, Angela Davis, Nick Estes, Fred Moten, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Mariame Kaba, and David Walker, and fiction, poetry, and plays by Octavia Butler, Natalie Diaz, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, and August Wilson, among others. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement, a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, and major/minor requirements for English and Justice and Peace Studies students. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This course is cross-listed with JPST 298-L01; there are 12 seats on the ENGL 337-L01 side and 8 seats on the JPST 298-L01 side.

This course explores films directed by Martin Scorsese as well as the literature that inspired his screenplays, from nonfiction by Nicholas Pileggi and David Gran to fiction by Edith Wharton to critical articles and interviews examining Scorsese’s oeuvre. As an auteur survey, we will look at Scorsese’s early short films and break out films like Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976) and then continue with Scorsese’s films in the late twentieth and early twenty-fist centuries. Thematically, these films frequently feature organized crime and systemic corruption in America, exploring how crime functions within and outside the law (Casino, 1995; The Departed, 2006). Stylistically, many have been groundbreaking in their use of first-person voice over narration, a narrative device used in many noir films of the 1940s but with new vitality in films like Good Fellas (1990) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). In addition, historical dramas like Gangs of New York (2002) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) explore crime in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries of America, illustrating a continuum of corruption into the present day. Scorsese’s films never shy away from the violence of American greed, whether it’s New York in the 1860s or the Gilded Age or the Great Depression, whether it’s in Oklahoma or on Wall Street or inside a boxing ring. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and a History/Theory requirement for Film Studies majors and minors. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with English; 10 seats are on the FILM 297-W01 side and 10 seats are on the ENGL 202-W01 side.

This course, team-taught by a historian and a literary scholar, focuses on the long struggle of African Americans for justice and equality in the U.S. Analyzing literary and historical texts, students in this course will learn about and engage in research on African American history and culture. Utilizing historical, literary, and cultural approaches, this interdisciplinary course will immerse students into an exploration of the African American experience from multiple perspectives using dual disciplinary frameworks. For example, students may study Richard Wright’s NATIVE SON, but would read the text within the historical and cultural framework of the Great Migration, connecting Wright’s text not just to other literary texts, but situating it within an historical and cultural context vital to the novel’s creation and essential for its interpretation. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement, and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement.
