In this class, we practice our skills of noticing details in the texts we read and using the details to help us make sense of what we read. We will also discuss how this ability of noticing details in reading is connected with noticing details in the world around us. Students will read and write about literary texts critically and closely. The course emphasizes recursive reading and writing processes that encourage students to discover, explain, question and clarify ideas. To this end, students will study a variety of genres as well as terms and concepts helpful to close analysis of those genres. They will practice various forms of writing for specific audiences and purposes. Students will reflect on and develop critical awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses as readers and writers. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing.

Hot dish, summer corn, wild rice, cheese curds: what do all of these have in common? In this course, we will explore the world of Minnesota food and food cultures, via fiction, essays, cookbooks, and poetry. As we read and discuss stories (and share our own) about Minnesota food, we will critically engage with concepts of food insecurity and environmental justice and learn about what Twin Cities communities do to address these issues. Students will read and write about literary texts critically and closely. The course emphasizes recursive reading and writing processes that encourage students to discover, explain, question and clarify ideas. To this end, students will study a variety of genres as well as terms and concepts helpful to close analysis of those genres.

The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper,” writes Eden Phillpotts while observing the beauty of the buckbean, imbuing a mundane moment with mystic wonder. In this course, students will read texts which blend the familiar with the strange, the natural with the supernatural, and explore how these unusual stories subvert expectations, critique social structures, and amplify the magic in everyday life. Through their writing, students will have the opportunity to analyze and reflect on these texts, while also experimenting with literary and rhetorical techniques to express their own experiences and observations of this mystic and mundane universe. Students will read and write about literary texts critically and closely. The course emphasizes recursive reading and writing processes that encourage students to discover, explain, question and clarify ideas. To this end, students will study a variety of genres as well as terms and concepts helpful to close analysis of those genres. They will practice various forms of writing for specific audiences and purposes. Students will reflect on and develop critical awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses as readers and writers. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing.

What makes the American South such fertile ground for ghost stories, grotesque characters, and dark secrets? In this course, we’ll study traditional Southern Gothic writers like Flannery O’Connor alongside contemporary authors such as Jesmyn Ward, Percival Everett, and Mariana Enriquez, who are pushing the boundaries of the genre. We’ll also examine short stories, oral urban legends, film, and other art forms that explore how hauntings, decaying landscapes, and the uncanny help us confront histories of racism, religious trauma, violence, and social inequality. Students will read and write about literary texts critically and closely. The course emphasizes recursive reading and writing processes that encourage students to discover, explain, question and clarify ideas. To this end, students will study a variety of genres as well as terms and concepts helpful to close analysis of those genres. They will practice various forms of writing for specific audiences and purposes. Students will reflect on and develop critical awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses as readers and writers. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing.

The course focuses on environmental writing, both outlining the positive side of our human need for immersion in nature (William Wordsworth and other poets) and responding to human ecological destructiveness (Lynn Nottage, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Pope Francis, and Diane Wilson). Climate change is one of the most urgent issues facing younger generations; readings in this course provide a foundation for thinking about core environmental issues in your own communities. Students will read and write about literary texts critically and closely. The course emphasizes recursive reading and writing processes that encourage students to discover, explain, question and clarify ideas. To this end, students will study a variety of genres as well as terms and concepts helpful to close analysis of those genres. They will practice various forms of writing for specific audiences and purposes. Students will reflect on and develop critical awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses as readers and writers. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing. NOTE: ENGL 190-W42 is a cross-listed class with a Living and Learning Community (LLC) section of ENGL 190. Five seats are available in the non-LLC side and 15 seats are available on the LLC side of the course.
