St Paul: In Person
Requirements Met:
Catholic Studies Concepts
Context and Convergences
Writing to learn
This course provides an in-depth exploration of how literature engages Christian thought, experience, and practice and how a reader engages works of imaginative literature from an intellectually serious Christian perspective. The course will also provide an introduction to theories in the interdisciplinary field of religion and literature. Religious themes studied will come from a variety of literary forms, including those of myth, history, parable, short story, essay, children's literature, poem, and novel. The literature chosen may reflect a variety of cultural backgrounds so that, among other things, we may consider how meaning may be affected by changes in worldview. Specific topics vary; accordingly, credit may be earned more than once for this course number. This course fulfills the Contexts and Convergences requirement in the English major. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course; there are 15 seats on the CATH 334 side and 10 seats on the ENGL 334 side. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, 121, or 190.

Writing to learn
Science fiction, romance, political treatises, poetry, autobiography, historical fiction—these are all genres through which Latino, Latina, and Latinx writers have created literary worlds and expressed their hopes and desires for themselves and their communities. This course examines literature as a powerful means of expression and representation for one of the fastest growing populations in the US, and considers the impact of Latinx literature, art, film, and culture on US society. We will read authors from diverse Latinx backgrounds, including Julia Alvarez, Sandra Cisneros, Victor LaValle, Erika Sanchez, Angie Cruz, Daisy Hernandez, Elizabeth Acevedo, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, as well as film and television by Gregory Nava, Robert Rodriguez, Tanya Saracho, and others. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities core requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice core requirement, and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
