This course will explore the contemporary literary scene in the Upper Midwest. It will examine both the conventions and innovations practiced by writers working now in the Twin Cities and beyond, focusing on what makes their work unique, urgent, and, ultimately, Midwestern. The larger idea we will be asking of these writers as well as of ourselves is "What does it mean to be Midwestern and/or Minnesotan"? We will focus on a diverse spectrum of writers, potentially including Michael Kleber-Diggs, Louise Erdrich, Heid Erdrich, Marlon James, Peter Geye, Kao Kalia Yang, Ty Chapman, Stephen Graham Jones and Ashley Shelby. This course satisfies both an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. 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 106, 121 or 190.

Short stories, because of their compression and intensity, offer lively plots and constant surprises. To the delight of readers everywhere, American authors provide a wellspring of tales that uncover our past, define our present, and speak to our future. In keeping with our diverse American heritage, stories have been chosen from a broad cross-section of literary and cultural traditions. Alongside canonical authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, we’ll read the works of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Wakako Yamauchi, Kate Chopin, Eudora Welty, Ray Bradbury, and others, examining how these diverse voices diverge from, resist, and transform the traditional American short story canon. This course satisfies a WAC Writing to Learn requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement.; 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.

This course explores the genre of noir in both film and literature beginning chronologically in post-World War II America, exploring McCarthyism and Hollywood blacklisting, as well as women's changing roles during and after the war. This background will provide a basis for the success of film noir with American audiences. Texts used early in the course are often those adapted into film (James M. Cain’s Double Indemnity and Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep). Emphasis in film is placed on the visual techniques used to create the aesthetic of film noir. As filmmakers fled Germany and Austria in the 1930s to work in Hollywood, techniques from German expressionist film helped to visually convey feelings of alienation, obsession, and instability fundamental to the genre (for example, Fritz Lang’s The Big Heat, Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity, and Otto Preminger’s Laura). The second half of the course will focus on the genre of noir in contemporary literature and film. Cinematic examples may include Devil in a Blue Dress, Memento, Mulholland Drive. Literary texts may include those written by Walter Mosley, Megan Abbott, and S. A. Cosby. 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.

How do global politics influence our desire to explore space? How does space exploration impact our theological viewpoints of the universe? What roles might nation-states and corporations play in future space endeavors? Focusing on the human yearning to explore space, as well as current efforts to put humans on Mars in the near future, this class will attempt to answer these questions by examining a variety of literary forms including fiction, science fiction, poetry, nonfiction prose, and biography. Likely works to be studied include Tracy K. Smith’s LIFE ON MARS, Mary Doria Russell’s THE SPARROW, and Andy Weir's THE MARTIAN. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement.

For centuries, people have gathered around campfires or drawing-room hearths to tell tales of ghosts, ghouls, hauntings, and horror. Why are we perpetually drawn to these narratives of dread and anxiety? What aspects of culture, or perceived elemental forces beneath culture, conjure up stories that evoke the pleasurable feeling of being afraid? This course considers overlaps of fear and pleasure, the present and the past, the domestic and the foreign, the sanctioned and the sinful, in an overview of that strikingly influential genre: the Gothic. Emerging in the tumultuous final decades of the eighteenth century, with violent revolutions abroad and simmering discord “at home,” Gothic literature in the U.K. can be traced down through the Victorian nineteenth century as a genre in constant tension with the dominant mores of the society that produced it. How did women writers of the Gothic imaginatively grapple with the constraints of male-dominated institutions? How might the familiar haunted houses and landscapes of the Gothic suggest that the sins of the past maintain a choking hold on the present? Why do tales of the supernatural and elemental often seem to look outward nervously, to the faraway possessions of the British Empire, as they remain bound up in the home? These questions and more will be considered as we read short and longer texts by authors such as Mary Shelley, Emily and Charlotte Brontë, Sheridan Le Fanu, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, Marie Corelli, and more. As we read about the past, we will also look ahead to recent books and movies to explore how the anxieties of the Gothic still haunt us today. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, the Global Perspectives requirement, and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. Please note that ENGL 203 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 202, or 204.

“Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.” French novelist Andre Malraux suggests that those who lie are deceiving themselves. Throughout world history people have kept secrets and deliberately lied for their own gain or simply for the thrill of knowing they have the power to deceive. Are there consequences for deliberate acts of deception? In this course, we will analyze how various international writers explore this human characteristic and discuss what we can learn about ourselves by considering the theme of lies and deception in global literature. Possible texts include: THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS by M.L. Stedman, Patrick Shanley's DOUBT, and WHITE IVY by Susie Yang. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, the Global Perspectives requirement, and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement.

How did the modern warfare of World War I change those who fought and those who stayed at home? Why did so many of the best American artists flee to Paris? How did the traditionalism and stability of the 1950s lead to the radicalism and rebellion of the 60s? How has technology, from the typewriter to the internet, reshaped literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework though extensive readings in American literature from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as progress and innovation, war, the “lost generation,” the New Woman, race, and conformity and individuality. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.

The core of our study will center around works of 20th century world literature that might be best called existential – existential for the ways in which they address questions about human agency, authenticity, responsibility, and what constitutes a meaningful life. Toward that end, we will also study precursors of existential literature, beginning with such 18th century writers as Voltaire, then move forward in time to Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Ibsen and Nietzsche, before settling into such key 20th century figures as Freud, Kafka, Pirandello, Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, and Clarice Lispector. This course satisfies both an Integrations in the Humanities requirement and the Global Perspectives core requirement, as well as the WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190. NOTE: This course was formerly titled The Modern Tradition.

Narrative Medicine Minor Appr
Writing to learn
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 engage in practices of narrative medicine, reading and writing 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.

Sports by definition are stories that literally play out in front of us: stories that involve conflict – conflict within the self, conflict in relationships, conflict against the elements, and, if we believe it possible, conflict with the supernatural. Through sports literature, students will thoughtfully investigate human interactions: the best we have to offer and sometimes the worst. Sports literature, whether that be fiction, non-fiction, drama, or poetry, asks us to consider what is just and what is unjust -- and how we discern which is which. Analytical and creative non-fiction writing assignments put students in thoughtful conversation with the ways that race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, class, disability, or other underrepresented or marginalized positions affect our engagement with sports and our world. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190, or transfer equivalent.

ENGL 305 is an introduction to the systematic study of the structure and use of the English language, with an emphasis on connections between academic linguistics and relevant social and educational questions. Students will study the English sound system through phonetics and phonology, word formation processes through morphology, and structures and meanings of clauses through syntax and semantics. Throughout the process of learning the linguistic tools to describe the English language, students consider variations of structures and uses in different varieties of English and critically engage with issues related to linguistic difference. With the linguistic toolkit introduced in the class, students will examine instances of language use in various social contexts, addressing the intersections of language and aspects of diversity including race, ethnicity, gender, political perspective, and citizenship. This course fulfills the Theory and Practice requirement in for the English with Literature and Writing major and is a required course for English with Secondary Education majors.

Characters are the heartbeats of our stories. What makes a good character? How do you craft real, complex, and well-developed people that connect with your readers? In this course we will attempt to answer these questions by studying and practicing effective methods of character development in short stories and novels. We will source inspiration from contemporary literature and television series, including BREAKING BAD, SURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, CHEWING GUM, as well as authors like Kazuo Ishiguro and Raven Leilani. Units will be divided to tackle specific aspects of character in fiction writing like protagonists, villains, voice, relationships, conflict, culture, dialogue, etc. This course consists of a blend of literary and film analysis, generative writing exercises, and writing workshops. You will get to develop and refine multiple types of characters, write new stories, and workshop your writing alongside peers. Students can expect to walk away from this course with a greater understanding of how to render memorable characters, as well as enhanced writing and analytical skills. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and a requirement for both English with Creative Writing and Film Studies majors and minors. Prerequisite: ENGL 255 or instructor permission.

Writing to learn
This course is about how 19th c. American literary traditions use Gothic tropes and modes to represent an idea of nature and the natural world. While we often think of “nature writing” as having a positive emotional orientation to human/nature relationships (in which safe exposure to wildness heals and refreshes our spirit, natural resources support human endeavors, and we do our best to use these resources wisely) such pastoralism masks darker truths. For example, the wallpaper in The Yellow Wallpaper looks like convulsing mushrooms and wallowing seaweeds. Frederick Douglass repeatedly uses images of being trapped in the earth to describe his despair while enslaved. In Poe’s famous story, Usher thinks it is stones and mold that cause his madness, and cursed mansions tend to collapse into lakes and oceans in Southern Gothic stories. With these and other examples in mind, we will turn our attention to a counter-tradition of nature writing in which negative emotional states prevail: fear, dread, even hate. In our readings of these and other “ecogothic” texts we will attend to a range of 19th c. contexts including: new ideas about the earth in geology and geography, claims about human nature in sexology, psychology, and scientific racism; mining and other extractive industries; and political movements like abolitionism, feminism, and animal rights. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice core requirements, as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. It also counts for the Sustainability minor. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.

This course explores the ways in which literature and film represent the natural world, engage with ecological concerns like the environmental implications of AI, and invite us to reimagine our relationship with our planet. From Indigenous worldviews to climate change to speculative futures, we’ll examine how narrative forms—novels, poetry, memoirs, and cinema—help us make sense of our planet. Our texts will include voices from the Global South to shed light on how environmental issues intersect with colonial histories. Along the way, we’ll also engage with key concepts such as the Anthropocene, ecofeminism, and postcolonial ecologies. Students will develop critical tools to analyze narratives, reflect on what it means to live ethically and imaginatively in a time of environmental uncertainty, and consider how storytelling can inspire awareness, resistance, and change. And, of course, there will always be room for wonder—for recognizing the amazing gift that is our planet. We will begin with a book that captures this wonder: Samantha Harvey’s ORBITAL. Other texts for the semester may include Octavia Butler’s PARABLE OF THE SOWER, Amitav Ghosh’s THE HUNGRY TIDE, Robin Wall Kimmerer's BRAIDING SWEETGRASS, and Mai Der Vang's PRIMORDIAL. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Application is being made to have this course count as meeting a Sustainability requirement (approval not guaranteed). Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.

This course explores the genre of noir in both film and literature beginning chronologically in post-World War II America, exploring McCarthyism and Hollywood blacklisting, as well as women's changing roles during and after the war. This background will provide a basis for the success of film noir with American audiences. Texts used early in the course are often those adapted into film (James M. Cain’s Double Indemnity and Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep). Emphasis in film is placed on the visual techniques used to create the aesthetic of film noir. As filmmakers fled Germany and Austria in the 1930s to work in Hollywood, techniques from German expressionist film helped to visually convey feelings of alienation, obsession, and instability fundamental to the genre (for example, Fritz Lang’s The Big Heat, Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity, and Otto Preminger’s Laura). The second half of the course will focus on the genre of noir in contemporary literature and film. Cinematic examples may include Devil in a Blue Dress, Memento, Mulholland Drive. Literary texts may include those written by Walter Mosley, Megan Abbott, and S. A. Cosby. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course, with 10 seats in this FILM 297 section and 10 seats in the ENGL 202-W02 section. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, 190 or instructor permission.
