In medical schools you’ll now find doctors- and nurses-in-training reading literature and engaging in role-play to learn how to care. This course explores dramatic literature as a tool for healing; in it, we’ll read and write about drama as literary genre, blueprint for performance, and means of understanding ourselves and others. The plays we will encounter illuminate questions about intimacy and care in relationships and the physical and mental traumas of racism, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and suicide. Students will have the opportunity to work with local theater artists and to research the effects of our current pandemics on mental health. 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. 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.
