An exploration of how concepts like nature, wilderness, and landscape have been incorporated into art. Cross-cultural instances of landscape painting will be placed in their historical contexts. We will then explore artists who incorporate the land into their art, from the site-specific artists of the late twentieth century to artists addressing the ecological concerns of the present day. We will consider Chinese literati painting, European Romanticism, frontier painting and regionalism in the United States, Earthworks, and recent artistic responses to global climate change and the exploitation of natural resources. We will consider how visual arts can not only reflect but also alter societal attitudes and practices.

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 the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and counts towards the Sustainability minor. 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.

This course explores films directed by Martin Scorsese as well as the literature that inspired his screenplays, from nonfiction by Nicholas Pileggi and David Gran to fiction by Edith Wharton to critical articles and interviews examining Scorsese’s oeuvre. As an auteur survey, we will look at Scorsese’s early short films and break out films like Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976) and then continue with Scorsese’s films in the late twentieth and early twenty-fist centuries. Thematically, these films frequently feature organized crime and systemic corruption in America, exploring how crime functions within and outside the law (Casino, 1995; The Departed, 2006). Stylistically, many have been groundbreaking in their use of first-person voice over narration, a narrative device used in many noir films of the 1940s but with new vitality in films like Good Fellas (1990) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). In addition, historical dramas like Gangs of New York (2002) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) explore crime in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries of America, illustrating a continuum of corruption into the present day. Scorsese’s films never shy away from the violence of American greed, whether it’s New York in the 1860s or the Gilded Age or the Great Depression, whether it’s in Oklahoma or on Wall Street or inside a boxing ring. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and a Film Studies major/minor requirement. 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with ten seats available on the FILM 297-W01 side and ten seats available on the ENGL 202-W01 side.

  Amy Muse

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 read and write 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. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, a requirement for the English minor in Narrative Medicine, and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

The difficult contradictions in our criminal legal system – which purportedly aims to reduce violence, addictions, and crime, to keep us safe, and promote justice – hide in plain sight. Thus we simultaneously recognize and do not recognize these contradictory realities: the violence and injustices that often occur in our jails and prisons, profound disparities in legal representation and sentencing bound up with race, class, and nationality, and a host of tangled methods and aims often in conflict with one another. While "crime" news reports, movies, and series keep certain stories ever present in our societal imagination, they tend to obscure deeper stories. In this class, we'll attempt to enter into and understand those deeper stories using both media and texts; writers may include Michelle Alexander, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Brittany Barnett, Johann Hari, Martin Luther King, and Bryan Stevenson. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement. 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

The difficult contradictions in our criminal legal system – which purportedly aims to reduce violence, addictions, and crime, to keep us safe, and promote justice – hide in plain sight. Thus we simultaneously recognize and do not recognize these contradictory realities: the violence and injustices that often occur in our jails and prisons, profound disparities in legal representation and sentencing bound up with race, class, and nationality, and a host of tangled methods and aims often in conflict with one another. While "crime" news reports, movies, and series keep certain stories ever present in our societal imagination, they tend to obscure deeper stories. In this class, we'll attempt to enter into and understand those deeper stories using both media and texts; writers may include Michelle Alexander, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Brittany Barnett, Johann Hari, Martin Luther King, and Bryan Stevenson. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement. 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

The Midwest is a geographically sprawling region with astounding environmental diversity and a long history of continuous inhabitation and cataclysmic change - from indigenous societies to colonization, from an agricultural utopia to sprawling urban landscapes. It is home to environmental features essential to the American imagination – the Mississippi, the Great Plains, the Great Lakes. Stories and cultures of its inhabitants have celebrated its beauty and diversity and have born witness to, and often participated in, its transformation. This course will take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the connection between environment and culture in the American Midwest. We’ll study literature, film, history, and works from social and environmental science to help us understand the complexity of Midwest environments and the ways humans have changed and been changed by them. We’ll explore basic principles of critical theory and apply these theories to better understand how race, class, gender, and ecological orientation shape the stories we tell about place. We’ll pay particular attention to patterns in stories and environmental knowledge about the Midwest that help us make sense of change and prepare for the environmental changes becoming a part of our everyday experience. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and counts towards the Sustainability minor. 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

Bernard Malamud (author of THE NATURAL) once wrote: "The whole history of baseball has the quality of mythology." This course will examine baseball literature as we read from a variety of writings about our baseball heroes, both the men and the women, who played the game that we call "our national pastime." We will look at our country's romanticism with baseball and how writers who wrote about it helped give the sport its mythological dimensions. Selections will include essays, short stories, and poetry by authors who loved the game. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and counts towards the Sports Studies minor..

This course introduces students to the craft of creative writing, focusing on three broad genres: poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Students learn how various forms (e.g., free verse, the sonnet, narrative) have developed and evolved historically and within various contexts (cultural, political, social)—and by extension, what it means to write in these forms today. They receive instruction in setting, character, voice, point of view, literal and figurative imagery, rhythm and sound patterns, and literary structures; and practice writing in all three genres. Assignments include close readings of literary texts that model craft techniques, weekly writing exercises that encourage exploration and development of craft, and workshop discussions to develop students’ analytic and critical skills. For English majors, it fulfills the Genre Study requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

This course explores films directed by Martin Scorsese as well as the literature that inspired his screenplays, from nonfiction by Nicholas Pileggi and David Gran to fiction by Edith Wharton to critical articles and interviews examining Scorsese’s oeuvre. As an auteur survey, we will look at Scorsese’s early short films and break out films like Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976) and then continue with Scorsese’s films in the late twentieth and early twenty-fist centuries. Thematically, these films frequently feature organized crime and systemic corruption in America, exploring how crime functions within and outside the law (Casino, 1995; The Departed, 2006). Stylistically, many have been groundbreaking in their use of first-person voice over narration, a narrative device used in many noir films of the 1940s but with new vitality in films like Good Fellas (1990) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). In addition, historical dramas like Gangs of New York (2002) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) explore crime in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries of America, illustrating a continuum of corruption into the present day. Scorsese’s films never shy away from the violence of American greed, whether it’s New York in the 1860s or the Gilded Age or the Great Depression, whether it’s in Oklahoma or on Wall Street or inside a boxing ring. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and a History/Theory requirement for Film Studies majors and minors. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190. NOTE: This is a cross-listed course with English; 10 seats are on the FILM 297-W01 side and 10 seats are on the ENGL 202-W01 side.

In this course, students will view, discuss, and read and write about feature-length films from Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and possibly India and/or the Middle East. Following critical viewing of films both in and outside of class, students will engage in critical reflection, discussion, and analytical writing as a way of practicing the art of film analysis. This course asks students to think critically about the ways in which cinema engages the world as a form of entertainment, as art, as historical document, and as an instrument of social change. The course fulfills the Human Diversity requirement of the core curriculum at UST by addressing issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and geopolitical status. It scrutinizes the ways in which institutionalized and structural power and privilege are reflected in the subject matter, creation, and audience reception of film.

Course Description: Horror in fiction and film has a way of expressing collective anxieties and fears and Latin American horror is no different. In this course we will explore written horror fiction and horror in films to examine how their allegorical themes and tropes relate to social, historical and cultural background information. We will center fiction by Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, Horacio Quiroga, Emilio Pacheco, Mariana Enriquez, Samanta Schweblin, Monica Ojeda and others to dig deeper into the cultural anxieties generated by topics such a migration to the cities, political violence, gender issues, and ecological crisis.

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.
