Street art—including graffiti, murals, and other installations in public space—provides expressive avenues for marginalized voices, shapes urban space, and promotes competing visions of community development. In contrast to art that is created for museums or the commercial art market, street art is uniquely positioned to engage with social issues from a critical perspective. This class will involve an analysis of street art projects from the United States, situated in comparison with projects from around the world. Topics to explored include the history of street art over time (from its origins in graffiti to contemporary mural festivals); the impetus for street art in communities in the USA and globally; models for creating, preserving, and presenting street art; the institutionalization of street art; street art as it relates to diversity and inclusion; and, ultimately, the potential for street art to play a role in social change.

What makes a text a work of Catholic literature? How do Catholic writers struggle with the existential questions of meaning, purpose, or suffering in a unique fashion? How do the themes they engage—such as forgiveness, redemption, or the power of grace in the world—place them within the Catholic tradition? Is there a sacramental imagination or incarnational theology at the root of a work of Catholic literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Catholic literature in both English and translation from the medieval era through the present. In addition to satisfying a WAC Writing to Learn requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, this course also satisfies the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with Literature Emphasis and English with Creative Writing Emphasis majors, and a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors. Finally, It also satisfies a 2XX Traditions requirement for Catholic Studies majors. This is a cross-listed course, with 10 seats on the ENGL side and 10 seats on the CATH side. Prerequisite: ENGL 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.

Many fans, critics, and creators agree that we are living in a Golden Age of Horror. From new fiction by Carmen Maria Machado, Stephen Graham Jones, and Tiphanie Yanique, to new films such as GET OUT (Jordan Peele 2017) and HEREDITARY (Aster 2018), the genre is proving to be finely crafted, highly literary and character driven. In other words, horror in the twenty-first century is much more than slasher films, body gore, splatterpunk, and jump scares. The horror genre explores the human condition through the emotion of fear—fear of pain, disease, isolation, of being lost, consumed, or prey to supernatural forces. However, horror also teaches us how to handle those fears. According to writer Ruthanna Emrys, “Horror as a genre is built around one truth: that the world is full of fearful things. But the best horror tells us more. It tells us how to live with being afraid.” This course explores horror from early tales like Bluebeard, to Gothic classics by Poe, Stoker, and Stevenson in the nineteenth century, to American cinema’s Universal Studios monster films, to contemporary works by Paul Tremblay, Gwendolyn Kiste and others. 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 Integrations in the Humanities requirement, and a Film Studies major and minor History and Analysis 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.

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 Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

Narrative Medicine Minor Appr
FYE Human Well-Being
Writing Intensive
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. This course can be used as a first step to an English minor in Narrative Medicine. 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 Integrations 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

This course will examine literary texts which feature the connection between the world of business and American culture. Work has always been an integral part of American society, and individuals often identify themselves with the work that they do. Students will closely read a handful of texts--Willa Cather's A LOST LADY, Solomon Northup’s 12 YEARS A SLAVE, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s THE GREAT GATSBY, Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Arthur Miller’s DEATH OF A SALESMAN, and Colson Whitehead’s APEX HIDES THE HURT--to explore how the dominant cultural narratives behind common perceptions of American business (such as the American Dream and the self-made person) shift from the pre-Civil War era through the early twenty-first century. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

What is any sports event but a story--multiple stories--playing out before our eyes? Sports by definition involve drama: conflicts in decision making, in relationships, with nature, and, if we believe it possible, conflicts with the supernatural. It's not an accident that some of our greatest metaphors come from the arena of athletics. Through sports we have a way to look at human values--at the best we have to offer and sometimes the worst. We’ll use sports literature to investigate what is just… and what is unjust… and how we discern which is which. In this class, we will read fiction, non-fiction, drama, and poetry. Books may include GIRL RUNNER, BIG SMOKE, TAKE ME OUT, and a BEST AMERICAN SPORTS WRITING anthology. 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 Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

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. The writing load for this fully online asynchronous course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing.

British poet William Wordsworth wrote, "the Child is father of the Man"; what he meant, and explored thoughtfully in his writing, was that the experiences of childhood and adolescence serve as the foundation for the adult self a person will become. Wordsworth was clear: both joyful and painful adolescent experiences shape our characters. We will read both young adult and classic literature that focuses on the process of "surviving adolescence"--books in which writers reflect on how they or their characters navigate that challenging transition between childhood and adulthood. Possible texts may include William Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT, Louisa May Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN, Roald Dahl's MATILDA, Corinne Duyvis's ON THE EDGE OF GONE, and one Harry Potter text by J.K. Rowling. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

When a disaster happens, it can overwhelm our sense of reason and justice, test our capacity for empathy, and force into debate our assumptions regarding social order. Writing about disaster is an acrobatic act of reflection, mourning, coping, and investigation, but to what end? To establish blame? To preach or to rebuild character? To prepare better for the next disaster? Whatever the case, tales about disasters tend to blend strategies of personal narrative, myth, and history to bring the tragedies of titanic events back to the scale of human understanding. This course explores novels and films that depict various catastrophic “storms” in an effort to document, heal, warn, and find meaning in the apparently meaningless. Possible readings will include Daniel Defoe’s A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR, Jesmyn Ward’s SALVAGE THE BONES; Paolo Bacigalupi’s THE WATER KNIFE Dimitry Elias Léger’s GOD LOVES HAITI; and Joshua Mehigan’s book of poetry, ACCEPTING THE DISASTER. Possible films will include CONTAGION (Soderbergh, 2011), BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD (Zeitlin, 2012), clips from THE DUST BOWL (Burns, 2012), and THE IMPOSSIBLE (Bayona, 2013). Students will write weekly short papers on guided topics, a final research essay, and also work in groups throughout the semester to develop a disaster prevention or survival guide. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies both a Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement and an 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. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

How did the modern warfare of World War I change those who fought and those who stayed at home? Why did so many of the best American artists flee to Paris? How did the traditionalism and stability of the 1950s lead to the radicalism and rebellion of the 60s? How has technology, from the typewriter to the internet, reshaped literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework though extensive readings in American literature from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as progress and innovation, war, the “lost generation,” the New Woman, race, and conformity and individuality. In addition to satisfying a core Integrations in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, this course also fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with Literature Emphasis and English with Creative Writing Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, and is one of two options for English with Secondary Education Emphasis majors.

What might it mean to speak of “the modern tradition”? What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? How does the modern tradition help us understand about concepts such as authorship, originality, literacy, and literary excellence? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from the seventeenth century through the present, including some interactions of the European traditions with modern African, Latin American, or Asian literatures. Authors may include Racine, Goethe, Flaubert, Dostoevsky, Rilke, Solzhenitsyn, Duras, Lispector, and Achebe. This course satisfies both the Integrations in the Humanities and the Global Perspectives core requirements as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, This course also fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with a Literature Emphasis and English with a Creative Writing Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, and one of two options for English with Secondary Education Emphasis majors..

What makes a text a work of Catholic literature? How do Catholic writers struggle with the existential questions of meaning, purpose, or suffering in a unique fashion? How do the themes they engage—such as forgiveness, redemption, or the power of grace in the world—place them within the Catholic tradition? Is there a sacramental imagination or incarnational theology at the root of a work of Catholic literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Catholic literature in both English and translation from the medieval era through the present. In addition to satisfying a WAC Writing to Learn requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, this course also satisfies the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with Literature Emphasis and English with Creative Writing Emphasis majors, and a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors. Finally, It also satisfies a 2XX Traditions requirement for Catholic Studies majors. This is a cross-listed course, with 10 seats on the ENGL side and 10 seats on the CATH side. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

This course uses literature to investigate how female athletes use their sport and their bodies to fight for women's rights and to change our world. In 1894-1895, Annie Londonderry biked around the world and spoke out for equality. Frances Willard advocated for the eight-hour workday, equal pay for women, and suffrage, then learned to ride a bike at age 53, and wrote about the freedom biking gave to women. In the winter of 1912 in New York, women walked 170 miles in Suffrage Hikes advocating for their right to vote. These women paved the way for athlete-authors such as Lynne Cox (who held the world record for swimming the English Channel) and Maxine Kumin (who, along with being U.S. Poet Laureate and a Pulitzer Prize winner, was a collegiate swimmer and rower). These and other great women writers explore their sports and their bodies in ways that both reflect and contest societal restrictions and expectations. This course will use their texts and other essays, articles, short stories, novels, and poetry from the late 1800s to today to explore the intersections of women, sport, and the body in literature. This course is ideal for students studying literature, gender, and various facets of physical education, sport, health, and human development. Texts may include: A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME: WOMEN'S LITERATURE ON WOMEN'S SPORT, AROUND THE WORLD ON TWO WHEELS, WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL, SWIMMING TO ANTARCTICA, CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, and GIRL RUNNER. Additionally, we will venture out of the classroom for some women's sports...maybe even play a little ourselves... and invite pro and semi-pro athletes in as guest speakers. This course satisfies the WAC Writing to Learn requirement as well as an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, & Social Justice requirement; and a Women, Gender, & Society major and minor requirement. This course also satisfies the Diversity Literature requirement for English with Literature Emphasis and English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors as well as a 300-level elective for English with Creative Writing Emphasis majors.

In his life Shakespeare most likely never left the shores of England. In his work, however, his imagination roamed widely, exploring the theological and monarchical conflicts around Europe, the multicultural city of Venice, and fears and fantasies of Africa, the Mediterranean, and the New World. In the centuries since his death, Shakespeare’s plays have ventured from London’s Globe Theatre to circumnavigate the globe in dramatic, literary, and cinematic adaptations from nearly every nation. We will read several of the plays, discussing them within the global context of Shakespeare’s day, will watch contemporary global retellings of the plays, and will create our own Shakespearean adaptations. Application has been made to have this course satisfy an Integrations in the Humanities requirement and the Global Perspectives requirement (approval likely, but not guaranteed). This course also satisfies the Early British Literature and Context and Convergences distribution requirements for English with Literature Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Creative Writing Emphasis and English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, a requirement for English with Secondary Education majors, and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. In addition it also satisfies both an Integrations in the Humanities and a Global Perspectives requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

In her Nobel Prize acceptance speech of 1993, Toni Morrison reflects on the power of language to oppress or to liberate. “Word-work is sublime,” she writes, “because it is generative; it makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference.” This capstone seminar takes as its premise Morrison’s assertion that “word-work” reaches beyond the page to shape our worlds and to constitute our experiences, and delves into the power of literature to effect societal change. We will study the works of a curated group of authors that have changed the way that we understand social justice and equity through their fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Authors and texts may include Toni Morrison’s THE BLUEST EYE, BELOVED, and PLAYING IN THE DARK; James Baldwin’s THE FIRE NEXT TIME; Louise Erdrich’s THE NIGHT WATCHMAN; Gloria Anzaldua’s BORDERLANDS/LA FRONTERA, and other selected readings. In this course, students will pursue self-designed research questions and complete research projects that can become part of a portfolio for graduate or job applications. Students will also engage in vocational exploration and reflection on their time as an English major as part of the course’s signature work experience. This course satisfies the capstone seminar requirement for English with Literature Emphasis majors. Prerequisite: Five ENGL courses at or beyond ENGL 211 including ENGL 280, or instructor permission.

In this course we will pay special attention to issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality, exploring ways in which representations are connected to our understanding of systems of power. In general, we will try and consider the complex constructions of “race” in American film and culture, as well as address the following questions. How has the category of “race” been historically constructed and represented? Whose interests have these constructions served? Why are these dominant representations often so far removed from the “real” way in which people live their lives? How are these representations connected to the ways in which we continue to think about race? How do writers and filmmakers resist dominant representations of race in the present, creating complex and liberating ways to rethink race? Some of the films we will study include Charles Burnett’s Killer of Sheep (1978), Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), Cherien Dabis’s Amreeka (2009), Aurora Guerrero’s Mosquita y Mari (2012), Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989), Georgina Lightning’s Older Than America (2008), Oscar Micheaux’s Within Our Gates (1920), and Lulu Wang’s The Farewell (2019).
