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.

English 190 is a core course in literature and writing for specially qualified students who show greater aptitude and preparation than typical first-year students or those whose pre-matriculation credits cover some, but not all, of the content of ENGL 121. The learning goals are the same as those for ENGL 121; however, writing, critical thinking, and textual analysis are taught at a higher level and with increased complexity in this course.

This course will focus on recent science fiction trends and their “classic” forerunners in order to trace the development of certain aspects of that particular genre. Such aspects may include unexplained “fabulist” occurrences, the rise of artificial intelligence, first contact with visitors from beyond Earth, and the tension between pro-technology and anti-technology trends. American authors such as Andy Weir (first contact), Ray Bradbury (fabulist occurrences), Helen Phillips (the rise of artificial intelligence), Daniel H. Wilson (first contact and the rise of artificial intelligence), Octavia Butler (pro-technology and anti-technology trends), and so forth, may be studied. International authors such as Deborah Willis (media, social media, commercialism, and their impact on space exploration), Temi Oh (the rise of artificial intelligence), H. G. Wells (first contact), J.G. Ballard (pro-technology and anti-technology), Margaret Atwood (pro-technology and anti-technology), and Stanislaw Lem (fabulist occurrences) may be studied. (The author list is at present quite fluid.) This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement and the 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.

This course will explore the representation of dreams and nightmares in a selection of world literature, from the early modern era to the present. Additionally, the course will consider the ways that utopian literature involves a kind of “dreaming” of a new world, and what’s at stake in dystopian visions of the world. While dystopian texts often depict a nightmarish world, many of them also contain kernels of hope for a more just world to be created. The course will engage with various genres: a play, novels/novellas, speeches, and poems. Possible readings for the course include Life Is a Dream (Calderón de la Barca); First Dream (Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz); The Double (Dostoyevsky); Diary of a Madman (Lu Xun); Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler); “I Have a Dream” (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.); “The Republic of Dreams” (Mahasweta Devi). This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement and the WAC Writing Intensive requirement. Permission is being sought to have this course satisfy the Global Perspectives core requirement as well (permission not guaranteed).

This course will primarily focus on LGBTQ+ literature from the Stonewall riots to the present-day. We will investigate whether this genre of literature has a particular aesthetic or shares common thematic elements. Special attention will be given to BIPOC writers and how LGBTQ+ writing disrupts common conventions of gender, sexuality, relationships, and identity, and the role that storytelling has played in the queer community.

The Extraordinary Ordinary is a course about learning to pay attention. Together, we'll slow down, notice more carefully, and discover meaning in moments that often pass unnoticed. Through short stories, essays, memoir, and plays, we'll explore not only what happens in a text, but also the pauses, quiet details, and what is left unsaid. Along the way, we'll consider how writers transform everyday experiences into stories that stay with us. Readings may include INTERPRETER OF MALADIES by Jhumpa Lahiri, THE BOYS OF MY YOUTH by Jo Ann Beard, THE BOOK OF DELIGHTS by Ross Gay, THE SOUND OF A SILENT SNAIL EATING by Elisabeth Tova Bailey, and the plays OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder and EVERY BRILLIANT THING by Duncan Macmillan. The course combines close reading and literary analysis with reflective writing and observation practices designed to cultivate the habits of attention that underlie both reading and writing. Throughout the semester, students will keep an Observation Journal, collecting daily "glimmers," and engage in mindful observation through activities such as nature walks. Together, these practices cultivate the habits of attention that writers bring to the page. By the end of the course, students will have strengthened their skills in literary analysis and writing while discovering that paying closer attention to language, other people, and the ordinary moments of everyday life can enrich not only the way they read and write, but also the way they move through the world. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and a core Integrations in the Humanities 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.

Why do young people so often make choices that seem self-destructive, reckless, or deeply misguided? Across cultures, languages, and historical periods, young protagonists confront desire, ambition, friendship, family expectations, and the search for identity—often making decisions that lead to betrayal, loss, deception, or regret. This course explores the turbulent transition from adolescence to adulthood through novels, short fiction, and memoirs by international and multicultural writers. Through close reading, discussion, and analytical writing, students will examine why coming of age so often involves coming undone—and what literature can teach us about the risks and rewards of growing up. This course satisfies a core Integrations in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. Approval is also being sought to have this course satisfy the core Global Perspectives requirement as well (approval not guaranteed). 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.

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. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

Where does the popular perception of America as the “New World” come from? How could slavery flourish in a land idealizing freedom? Why were immigrants so feared and reviled?

Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as religious identity, political reform, race, slavery, war, gender, and industrialization. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

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.

This course is focused on intersections and tensions between literature and the law. By analyzing literary and cinematic texts, students will explore the experiences of individuals living within imperfect systems of the law, especially the often-ambiguous relationship between innocence and guilt, right and wrong, justice and injustice. Reading and writing assignments will sharpen students’ understanding of rhetoric and audience and will raise questions related to racial, gender, and economic justice particular to the practice of law within the United States and beyond. Texts may include Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence, Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience, Susan Glaspell’s A Jury of Her Peers, Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, or Suzan-Lori Parks’ Sally & Tom. The goal is to help students understand the ethical dimensions of law and prepare them to engage compassionately in professional practice. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

W. B. Yeats and James Joyce transformed our understanding of myth, human consciousness, and post-coloniality. At the forefront of “the Irish Revival,” these two profoundly important authors wrote to regain a sense of Ireland’s heroic past to break away from the British empire, thereby beginning its downfall. Dr. David Gardiner (UST Director of Irish Studies) and Dr. Derek Hand (Dean of Dublin City University) will explore Yeats’s poetry and Joyce as they address the combination of history, literature, politics, and religion in their work and Irish literature.
