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. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and is currently under review to fulfill 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

From its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century, mystery fiction has been a highly formulaic genre. Add a dead body, sprinkle in a handful of usual suspects, provide a quirky detective/police officer to solve the case, occasionally mix in a guilty butler, and you have a proven formula for a potential best-seller. However, a close examination of mystery fiction reveals that there’s more than meets the (private) eye. The authors in this genre often have their fingers on the pulse of the society from which they come, as their texts reflect and critique notions of race, class, gender, social institutions, and more. Additionally, the genre has expanded from the locked-room format employed by writers such as Conan Doyle and Christie and the shady back alleys employed by hard-boiled writers like Hammett and Chandler to focus on things like international politics and espionage, featured in the works of writers like le Carre. Throughout the session, we’ll examine a few texts from the perspective of how these fit with the mystery fiction genre and what these texts have to say about the world they come from, and possibly our own world. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

“Tell all the truth but tell it slant—” American poet, Emily Dickinson suggests that the truth is often deliberately distorted. Are there times when the blunt truth is too painful to hear? Are some lies justified? Conversely, throughout history people have 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 examine how writers explore this human characteristic and discuss what we can learn about ourselves by considering the theme of lies and deception in literature. Possible texts include: “Wakefield” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS by M.L. Stedman, and WHITE IVY by Susie Yang. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integration in the Humanities requirement.

Many of us are familiar with epic fantasy loosely based on a European medieval world and populated with elves, dwarves, dragons, trolls, and halflings. Tolkien’s THE HOBBIT and LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy have had a profound and long influence. Although we still see fantasy set in such worlds, there’s been a radical shift in many contemporary fantasy stories: in the worlds they portray, in the types of stories they tell, and in the ways that these stories are told. Fantasy literature has become more diverse and has, in many cases, departed from the medieval-like Eurocentric setting and sometimes also the Western hero’s journey structure. In this course we’ll read some great twenty-first century fantasy that breaks the Tolkien mold in various ways, especially fantasy by African American and Asian American authors, and we’ll study a wide range of stories and story-telling techniques—to see where fantasy as a field is headed in the 21st century. This course satisfies the WAC Writing to Learn requirement, an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

This course will examine how professional writers have utilized graphic storytelling to convey complex information to non-expert communities. While manuals and specifications have long been held to be the genres that technical writers create, increasingly, they are also turning to comics as a genre to disseminate complex information to audiences. Specifically, this course will focus on comics which have presented technical information that is aimed at underrepresented and marginalized communities—both created by technical writers and also created by members of communities themselves. Our texts will cover two important threads: Firstly we will explore the need for more equitable and accessible documentation across medical, legislative, and industrial settings for multiply-marginalized peoples. Secondly, we will look at comics as examples that have been created to help bridge such gaps for communities of color, GLTBTQ folx, and neurodiverse populations. Students will be asked to draft their own comics or storyboards that help to convey complex information in accessible ways--please note that no artistic ability or experience is necessary. This course satisfies a requirement for English with Professional Writing students, a WAC Writing in the Discipline requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and acting in the world that creates positive impact through the development of new and better solutions to customer and societal problems. Entrepreneurs see the world differently, noticing problems that others have overlooked and using passion, creativity and business skills to craft new and better solutions that address those problems effectively and sustainably. In doing so, entrepreneurs create value for others and advance the common good, whether in a startup enterprise, or an established company, or in a social-impact enterprise. In this course, business students of all disciplines will get an introduction to the entrepreneurial process, gaining knowledge and experience in core practices of entrepreneurial discovery and creation. The course is experiential – students will learn by doing, whether through in-class exercises, an exploratory field study, or case study analysis and discussion. Students will learn how this process advances the common good and will identify how it can be deployed within multiple fields of study. Note: Students who receive credit for ENTR 100 may not receive credit for ENTR 200 or ENTR 260.

While manuals and specifications have long been held to be the genres that technical writers create, increasingly, they are also turning to comics as a genre to disseminate complex information to audiences. Specifically, this course will focus on comics which have presented technical information that is aimed at underrepresented and marginalized communities—both created by technical writers and also created by members of communities themselves. Our texts will cover two important threads: Firstly we will explore the need for more equitable and accessible documentation across medical, legislative, and industrial settings for multiply-marginalized peoples. Secondly, we will look at comics as examples that have been created to help bridge such gaps for communities of color, GLTBTQ folx, and neurodiverse populations. Students will be asked to draft their own comics or storyboards that help to convey complex information in accessible ways--please note that no artistic ability or experience is necessary.

Introduces students to historical reasoning. Students learn to analyze evidence from the past in context in order to explain how the past produced the ever-changing present. The course introduces students to social, political, cultural, and economic developments from the American Civil War to the present day. It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped
the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.
