This course provides an in-depth exploration of a select group of texts or authors from British literature of the Renaissance or early modern era, a time of religious schism, early British imperialism, the rebirth of the classical world, and the birth of the professional theatre in England. Alongside the work of Shakespeare, the selected texts or authors will be studied in terms of a particular historical, cultural, or other context, or in terms of a convergence with authors or texts from other literary traditions or intellectual disciplines. Examples might include Shakespeare and the rise of the Renaissance theatre; Elizabethan writers and the Islamic world; Shakespeare and the idea of the human in the drama, sonnet, and personal essay; your brain on Shakespeare: cognitive literary studies. This course fulfills the Contexts and Convergences requirement in the English major, an Early British Literature requirement, and a Persons course for Catholic Studies students.

What might it mean to speak of “the classical tradition?” What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? From the ancient Greek gods in their serenity to the howls of the damned in Dante’s vision of the afterlife, whether mythological or theological, the works to be studied engage us in the most fundamental questions about what it means to be human. Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from ancient Greece to the Renaissance, including some interactions of the European traditions with ancient or medieval Asian, Mesopotamian, or Middle Eastern literatures. Authors may include Homer, Aeschylus, Sappho, Virgil, Dante, Rumi, Marie de France, and Christine de Pizan. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major and a Classical Culture requirement for Classics majors and minors. It also satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities core requirement, the Global Perspectives core requirement, and the WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with ENGL 220-L01. There are 17 seats on the ENGL 220-L01 side and three seats on the CLAS 298-L01 side,

The act of revision is more than just a step in the writing process — re-vision is the act of seeing with new eyes, whether it is an idea, a work of art, a relationship, or another aspect of lived experience. The practice of revision extends beyond the classroom, and encourages us to be curious, engaged, and reflective about ourselves, the people around us, and the choices we make every day. In this class, we’ll read texts that feature re-vision (of history, life, art, etc.) as a prominent theme, and incorporate re-vision actively in our weekly writing, journaling, and discussion activities. Students will read and write about literary texts critically and closely.

This course will focus on close reading: how to do it, why to do it, and how it will change your life. Each week we will practice some core "moves" of close reading as we engage with a variety of texts by authors including Flannery O'Connor, Hua Hsu, William Gardner Smith, Tommy Orange, and Isabella Hammad, among others. Our reading and discussions will be guided by these essential questions: What is literature, and how does it shape, expand, and trouble our ideas about meaning-making, ethics, and morality? What does it mean to be a "critical thinker" and a "close reader" in society today? How can close reading empower us to understand, engage, and change our world? 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.

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.

Even in the land of Super Targets and Big Mac hamburgers, bigger is not always better--at least not in terms of literature. 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 and Ernest Hemingway, we read the works of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Louise Erdrich, Kate Chopin, and others, examining how these diverse voices diverge from, resist, and transform the traditional American short story canon. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice 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.

Many fans, critics, and creators agree that we are living in a Golden Age of Horror. From new fiction by Carmen Maria Machado and Stephen Graham Jones to films such as TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID (Lopez 2017) and MIDSOMMAR (Astor 2019), the genre is proving to be finely crafted and character driven. In other words, horror in the twenty-first century is much more than slasher films, body gore, and jump scares (though there is still plenty of room for those!). The horror genre explores the human condition through the emotion of fear—fear of pain, disease, isolation, of being lost, consumed, or prey to supernatural forces. Horror also teaches us how to handle those fears. According to writer Ruthanna Emrys, “Horror as a genre is built around one truth: that the world is full of fearful things. But the best horror tells us more. It tells us how to live with being afraid.” This course explores horror from fairy tales like Bluebeard, to Gothic classics by Poe, to American cinema’s Universal monster films, to contemporary works by Jennifer Kent, Brian Evenson, and more. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration in the Humanities requirement. It also satisfies a Film Studies History and Analysis major and minor requirement. NOTE: This is a cross-listed class, with 11 seats in this ENGL 202-W02 side and 9 seats in the FILM 297-W01 side. Also, 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.

Sustainability (SUST)
Writing Intensive
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 a WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and counts towards the Sustainability minor. ENGL 202-W03 is cross-listed with ENVR 298-W03; there are 15 seats available on the English side and five seats available on the ENVR side.

This course will examine literary texts which feature the connection between the world of business and American culture. Work has always been an integral part of American society, and individuals often identify themselves with the work that they do. Students will closely read a handful of texts--Willa Cather's A LOST LADY, Solomon Northup’s 12 YEARS A SLAVE, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s THE GREAT GATSBY, Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Arthur Miller’s DEATH OF A SALESMAN, and Colson Whitehead’s APEX HIDES THE HURT--to explore how the dominant cultural narratives behind common perceptions of American business (such as the American Dream and the self-made person) shift from the pre-Civil War era through the early twenty-first century. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

The difficult contradictions in our criminal justice system – one that purportedly aims to reduce violence and crime, keep us safe, and promote justice – hide in plain sight. Yet we as a society may or may not know the contradictory realities: the violence and injustices that can occur in our jails and prisons, disparities in legal representation and sentencing, and a host of tangled methods and aims often in conflict with one another. While popular "crime" shows keep certain stories ever present in our societal imagination, they tend to obscure deeper stories. In this class, we will attempt to enter into those deeper stories using film, online media, and texts. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

This course will examine the enduring appeal and growing influence of conspiracy theories. We will look at key historical events, figures, and social issues in the history of our nation and the conspiracy theories they have spawned, as well as the psychological phenomena most commonly associated with conspiracism, and the rhetoric of political paranoia. The objective of the course is neither to promote nor debunk any particular theory, but to examine the role that conspiracy theories play as modern mythologies, dramatizing our fears and anxieties, and (strangely enough) our enduring (and possibly naïve) hope that things will one day get better. This course satisfies both a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement.

“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.

What might it mean to speak of “the classical tradition?” What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? From the ancient Greek gods in their serenity to the howls of the damned in Dante’s vision of the afterlife, whether mythological or theological, the works to be studied engage us in the most fundamental questions about what it means to be human. Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from ancient Greece to the Renaissance, including some interactions of the European traditions with ancient or medieval Asian, Mesopotamian, or Middle Eastern literatures. Authors may include Homer, Aeschylus, Sappho, Virgil, Dante, Rumi, Marie de France, and Christine de Pizan. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major and a Classical Culture requirement for Classics majors and minors. It also satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities core requirement, the Global Perspectives core requirement, and the WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190.

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.

Poets and neuroscientists agree that the human mind is essentially literary; it depends on narrative imagining, on story. In this course we ask questions like what it means to have a literary imagination, and how a literary imagination uses language to create worlds, generate beauty, expose injustice, and envision new possibilities for individual and collective change. We also identify the kinds of conversations the discipline of literary studies has historically had about literature, such as about its definition, why it is organized into genres, how those genres work, how we read and write about literature, and why we care about it.

In what ways are we telling stories in our writing--stories of research, stories that show how we interpret what we see and experience, stories that move people to think and act differently? This course will give students the opportunity to strengthen their academic writing and lay foundations for writing in their field through the lens of storytelling; learn how to write with voiced, passionate, cutting-edge energy; and consider what is expected as a writer and speaker in their chosen field and revisit honestly how they work and define good writing. Per the undergraduate catalog, this course introduces students to current writing, rhetorical, and pedagogical theory, and helps them develop a vocabulary for talking about writing and strengthen their abilities to write and to assist others in developing their academic literacy. Students will practice writing in a variety of genres.

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 the English with Literature and Writing major and is a required course for English with Secondary Education majors.

In this course, we'll focus on writing fantasy, broadly conceived. We'll read different types of contemporary fantasy--portal/quest fantasy, immersive fantasy, intrusion fantasy, and liminal fantasy--and try our hand at writing them. We'll explore typical fantasy structures and try out ways to break the mold. And we'll immerse ourselves in the diverse and wonderful world of contemporary fantasy. Over the course of the semester, students will write a couple of short stories or the opening to a novel, as well as many shorter exercises and prompts. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and counts as a writing course for students in the English with a Creative Writing Emphasis major and minor. Prerequisite: ENGL 255.

This course uses literature to investigate how female athletes use their sport and their bodies to fight for women's rights and to change our world. In 1894-1895, Annie Londonderry biked around the world and spoke out for equality. Frances Willard advocated for the eight-hour workday, equal pay for women, and suffrage, then learned to ride a bike at age 53, and wrote about the freedom biking gave to women. In the winter of 1912 in New York, women walked 170 miles in Suffrage Hikes advocating for their right to vote. These women paved the way for athlete-authors such as Lynne Cox (who held the world record for swimming the English Channel) and Maxine Kumin (who, along with being U.S. Poet Laureate and a Pulitzer Prize winner, was a collegiate swimmer and rower). These and other great women writers explore their sports and their bodies in ways that both reflect and contest societal restrictions and expectations. This course will use their texts and other essays, articles, short stories, novels, and poetry from the late 1800s to today to explore the intersections of women, sport, and the body in literature. This course is ideal for students studying literature, gender, and various facets of physical education, sport, health, and human development. Texts may include: A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME: WOMEN'S LITERATURE ON WOMEN'S SPORT, AROUND THE WORLD ON TWO WHEELS, WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL, SWIMMING TO ANTARCTICA, CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, and GIRL RUNNER. Additionally, we will venture out of the classroom for some women's sports...maybe even play a little ourselves... and invite pro and semi-pro athletes in as guest speakers. This course satisfies the WAC Writing to Learn requirement as well as an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, & Social Justice requirement; and a Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies major and minor requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121 or 190.

Writing in the Discipline
This course examines how writers and artists imagine home—what it means to have it, to lose it, and to create new forms of belonging in unfamiliar places. Through novels, poems, films, personal narratives, and visual texts from around the world, we will explore experiences of migration and displacement and the emotional, political, and cultural transformations they generate. Specifically, we will consider how empire makes and unmakes homes, how leaving home shifts one’s sense of self, and how exile can be both a site of loss and a spark for creative resistance. Our narratives about home will include writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, James Baldwin, Edwidge Danticat, Toni Morrison, and Warsan Shire, as well as artists and filmmakers Yinka Shonibare and Lulu Wang. Students will engage in close reading, discussion, and creative or analytical projects that connect course materials to their own experiences and contemporary debates about home, identity, and community. Students will also complete a Signature Work essay.

Many fans, critics, and creators agree that we are living in a Golden Age of Horror. From new fiction by Carmen Maria Machado and Stephen Graham Jones to films such as TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID (Lopez 2017) and MIDSOMMAR (Astor 2019), the genre is proving to be finely crafted and character driven. In other words, horror in the twenty-first century is much more than slasher films, body gore, and jump scares (though there is still plenty of room for those!). The horror genre explores the human condition through the emotion of fear—fear of pain, disease, isolation, of being lost, consumed, or prey to supernatural forces. Horror also teaches us how to handle those fears. According to writer Ruthanna Emrys, “Horror as a genre is built around one truth: that the world is full of fearful things. But the best horror tells us more. It tells us how to live with being afraid.” This course explores horror from fairy tales like Bluebeard, to Gothic classics by Poe, to American cinema’s Universal monster films, to contemporary works by Jennifer Kent, Brian Evenson, and more. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration in the Humanities requirement. It also satisfies a Film Studies History and Analysis major and minor requirement. NOTE: This is a cross-listed class, with 9 seats in this FILM 297-W01side and 11 seats in the ENGL 202-W02 side. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.
