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.

The history of the ancient world-its politics, philosophy, and literature is mostly silent or slanderous about the lives of women. In most times and places their role in public life and their ability to express themselves were severely circumscribed. However, a study of archaeological material, representations in art and literature, and the occasional writing of women themselves allows us to look behind the curtain that veiled their lives. This class will examine the evidence to reconstruct a picture of what the life of women was like in Egyptian, Greek, and Roman culture throughout the ancient Mediterranean.

This course will explore the contemporary literary scene in the Upper Midwest. It will examine both the conventions and innovations practiced by writers working now in the Twin Cities and beyond, focusing on what makes their work unique, urgent, and, ultimately, Midwestern. The larger idea we will be asking of these writers as well as of ourselves is "What does it mean to be Midwestern and/or Minnesotan"? We will focus on a diverse spectrum of writers, potentially including Michael Kleber-Diggs, Louise Erdrich, Heid Erdrich, Marlon James, Peter Geye, Kao Kalia Yang, Ty Chapman, Stephen Graham Jones and Ashley Shelby. This course satisfies both an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a 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.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. This course satisfies a WAC Writing to Learn requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

In this course, which is offered primarily for Education majors, we will read and discuss children’s and young adult fiction, focusing on contemporary writing (the last ten years or so). You’ll gain a good sense of where Children’s and Young Adult fiction stands and what some of the big issues are in the field today. As an English course taught by a creative writer, we’ll focus our discussion on how these stories work as stories, and on how books aimed at different age groups tend to tell stories differently. Texts might include such books as Aiden Thomas’s CEMETERY BOYS; Erin Entrada Kelly’s HELLO, UNIVERSE; Darcy Little Badger’s ELATSO; Varian Johnson’s TWINS—just as examples of the range of our reading. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190 or the transfer equivalent.

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 CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, BIG SMOKE, TAKE ME OUT, and THE YEAR'S BEST SPORTS WRITING anthology. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement, and counts towards the Sports Studies 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.

Maybe you were introduced to Emily Dickinson through the world of music: Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Aaron Copeland, or Clutch. Or maybe you got to know her through the many appearances Dickinson has made in TV, theater, and film, culminating most recently in the Apple TV+ series Dickinson starring Hailee Steinfeld. Then there are the novels, the children’s books, the visual art, and yes, the tattoos. Why is a 19th century poet all over contemporary culture right now? Maybe it is the way she simultaneously fit into her own culture (the stereotypical Victorian recluse) and also pushed back against it with her queerness, her proud rebellion against norms: “I took my Power in my Hand—/And went against the World.” Maybe you will discover something else! In this course we will begin by delving into Dickinson as contemporary influencer, considering how and why she continues to inspire popular artistic expression. We also will investigate her responses to the popular culture of her own time and its influence on her work. All the while, we will dig deeply into her poetry and letters, exploring the energy of her poetic voice, a voice that continues to speak to us now. Our work will culminate in planning, creating exhibits for, and participating in the fourth UST Emily Dickinson Marathon Poetry Reading (April 2025). Through this event, the course comes full circle as we bring the experience of Dickinson to the St. Thomas community and beyond. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement, a WAC Writing Intensive requirement, and counts for WGSS majors and minors. 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.

Meet the maddest minds in literature! From Goethe’s Faust to the Godzilla-busting Dr. Serizawa, these rebels transgress the laws of nature and humanity to teach us about our world and ourselves. How far should we go? How much do we dare to know? Find the answers, or at least the most exciting versions of the questions, in books like Robert Louis Stevenson’s THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE; H. G. Wells’s THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU; Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play FAUST, PART I; as well as the film GODZILLA (1954). This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. It also satisfies a Global Perspectives requirement, since more than half of the material is dedicated to the literature of non-US cultures. Students will consider the role of place, time, and culture in shaping multiple worldviews as revealed in the literature.

This course investigates the complex and fascinating relationship between language, power, and identity. We will read a variety of texts that examine how individuals construct different aspects of their self identities (e.g., race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and religion) through their use of language in everyday conversations, narratives, writings, performances and public debates. The course will also incorporate a variety of media to engage us in asking questions on how our use of language shapes who we are, our relations with other people, and with the rest of society. For example, has anyone ever commented on the way you talk? Do you remember when you first noticed that other people spoke differently from you? Do men and women speak differently? What is “politically correct” speech? What hidden and obvious biases are embedded in everyday language use? As we explore these questions, we will also consider how power dynamics play out in patterns of language use. By exploring various aspects and contexts of language use, students will become more critically aware of motivations and consequences of language use, and develop the skills to talk and write about them critically. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement; and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. Please note that ENGL 204 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 202, or 203. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 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? Why did expansionism push out some and make millionaires of others? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings from the beginnings of the American literary tradition to the turn of the twentieth century. 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 121 or 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. This course satisfies the core Integrations in the Humanities and the Diversity, Inclusion, Social Justice core requirements and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement.

Ethnography has often been thought of as the domain of the great white adventurer/scholar, trekking to the most remote and dangerous corners of the globe to extract the culture of the native other and paste it into academic tomes to be consumed by a greedy public. The last century of ethnography, however, has shown that the other can write about themselves and can even train their eyes to see and write about the white father in turn. In this course we will examine ethnographies of the 20th and 21st centuries using a variety of genres (film, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, etc.), and grapple with questions of power, representation, objectivity, and ethical responsibility when writing about culture – that of others or our own. Ultimately, we will consider: what counts as ethnography and what responsibilities are involved when we do it? Authors will include W.E.B. DuBois, Zora Neale Hurston, John Gwaltney, Louise Erdrich, and Kao Kalia Yang. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement, a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, and a Genre Studies requirement for English Literature and Writing majors and English with Creative Writing majors. It also satisfies an elective requirement for English with Professional Writing majors. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

“What we owe children: we owe them stories that matter.” –Phillis Root. In English 326, we’ll study and write literature for children and young adults (YA). We’ll read three or four middle grade and YA novels and many picture books and excerpts of novels, and we’ll complete many short writing attempts; you’ll also write several longer pieces that you’ll revise and polish. The class will focus primarily on three kinds of fiction writing—picture books, middle grade, and young adult—and all students will be expected to try their hand at writing for all three age groups. Because most middle grade and young adult fiction is published in novel form, you’ll be encouraged to begin a novel or a novel-in-verse over the semester (opening chapter[s] and outlines). This course counts as a writing course for English with a Creative Writing Emphasis students, a Genre Study course for English majors, and a creative writing course for English with a Professional Writing Emphasis majors. This course also satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 255 or permission of the instructor; ideally, it's recommended that you will also have taken either 321 Writing Poetry or ENGL 322 Writing Fiction as well, though those are not required prerequisites for this course.

Women and Gender in Film explores the diverse roles women have taken in film from an intersectional perspective that includes analysis of gender along with considerations of race, class, migrant status, disability status, religious/spiritual identity, or other dimensions of diversity. Through readings, lectures and film analysis students will be able to consider how gender constructions have influenced the roles women and non-gender conforming individuals could take in film as an industry and in film as an art, focusing primarily in film production in the United States. Through a social justice lens, this course will lead students to become aware of how gender constructions are circulated, recast, and reinforced through film, which can also be a space for resistance, change and imagination of a more egalitarian future.

FILM 230: In this course, we will consider the complex constructions of “race” in US film, paying special attention to 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 underrepresented filmmakers resist dominant representations of race in the present, creating complex and liberating ways to rethink race? Special attention will be given to the language of filmmaking, examining how this language evolves differentially across mainstream Hollywood cinema and in films created by minority filmmakers.

This course is designed to introduce students to the filmmaking process, from script to screen. We will concentrate our attention on two main elements - understanding the technical concerns of narrative filmmaking (the apparatuses, learning camera functions and techniques, and using editing software), AND developing students' artistic voice through storytelling and film analysis. The course aims to strengthen students' ability to conceive and flesh out ideas that will lead to compelling, authentic, personally meaningful short films and give them the critical foundation of film study and production tools to execute their ideas. Students will begin to develop their own artistic vision and style through filmmaking.

In this course we will look at how rhetoric has historically shaped and continues to shape political discourse. We will consider such aspects of rhetoric broadly: speech, textual documents, performance, and technology. Questions of discussion will include - what constitutes an argument and how does our current political context impact what counts as argumentation; how does language shape the way that citizens are constructed; how are civic processes enacted in real-world settings; and how do citizens engage in tactical citizenship? Of particular importance, we will consider how current tools and technologies such as generative AI, deepfakes, and social media are changing our relationship to democracy. This course must be taken as one of the first five courses in the MA in English program. Prerequisite: GENG 513

Dominique Morisseau, who, like Lynn Nottage, has helped radically to change the profile of “The Great White Way” of Broadway, stated in an interview that many current black playwrights find themselves standing in the shadow of August Wilson. Morisseau notes, however, that this is not always a bad thing, commenting, “I can’t ever deny August’s influence on my work.....I was just so inspired by the canon of work....I just thought, Wow, what his work is doing for the people of Pittsburgh, how they must feel so loved, so immortalized in his writing, I want to do that for Detroit.” Morisseau’s observations offer a starting point for this course: what is the influence of pioneering Black dramatists (Lorraine Hansberry and August Wilson) on the younger generation of African-American writers? For example, in Hansberry’s A RAISON IN THE SUN and Wilson’s FENCES, being Black (race) and being forced into dead-end jobs and substandard housing (class) intersect catastrophically. Morisseau and Nottage translate themes of these earlier works into urgent studies of recent discrimination against working-class African-Americans in SKELETON CREW, SWEAT, and CLYDE'S. In RADIO GOLF, Wilson examines how barriers are set up to limit even the options of middle-class, university-educated black men; Claudia Rankine takes the topic a step farther in THE WHITE CARD by exploring how sexism combines with racism to thwart women. Race, class, gender, and the intersectionality of these areas form the bedrock of the literature we will study this semester, exploring the “conversations” occurring between the first generation of African-American playwrights in the twentieth century and current Black writers dominating the field today. This course satisfies the Identity and Power requirement.

This is a workshop in revising fiction. The course will guide students through the step-by-step revision process by working with existing writings. Instead of generating new work, students will focus on making prior work the best version of itself. Course readings include theoretical texts on revision, including Peter Ho Davies' ON REVISION, Matthew Salesses' CRAFT IN THE REAL WORLD, Jane Allison's MEANDER, SPIRAL, EXPLODE, and George Saunders's A SWIM IN THE POND IN THE RAIN. Course texts will also include comparing original and revised versions of short stories, allowing for deeper analysis of revision as a process. Along with reading and analyzing these texts, students will workshop revised pieces in groups, over multiple rounds of revision. The course will also examine the other side of revision: submission for publication. Students will learn how to submit their revised work to literary journals, presses, and agents. The course ultimately strives to envision revision as a collaborative, sequential, ongoing, and rewarding part of the writing process.

This course investigates a concept that is very intimately tied to commonplace narratives about the United States: freedom. We will begin with an overview of transnational philosophical conceptions of freedom and self-determination such as those of Mills, Marx, and Schopenhauer. Our overall focus will then turn to how 19th-century Abolitionist and Black Nationalist, Transcendentalist, and Gothic texts explore and represent what it means to be free during the first century or so of North American democracy. Our primary literary texts include writing by Frances Harper, Leonora Sansay, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Rebecca Harding Davis, and Edgar Allen Poe.The course is organized into 4 modules beginning with a brief introductory module followed by three main modules, each of which include an in-person class meeting (dates below), guided asynchronous reading and responding to course material, and an opportunity for individual and small-group zoom discussions. The course culminates in an extended period of supported research toward a final project tailored to students’ individual professional and intellectual goals. For questions regarding the course format, please contact Dr. Zebuhr at zebu7469@stthomas.edu. This course satisfies the Early Literature requirement as well as the Global, Transatlantic, or Transnational Perspective requirement. Prerequisite: GENG 513 (ME) or another 500-level lit course (CWP).

This course explores two primary areas of inquiry within postcolonial studies. First, we will study the contested origins and current state of the field, particularly its intersections with related theoretical areas, such as Border Studies, Ecocriticism, Feminist Theory, and Marxist theory. The second focus will be on postcolonial narratives, which we will define broadly as forms of representation that mediate social and political experiences across spatial and temporal landscapes. Through this lens, we will analyze a variety of narratives, including novels, poetry, photography, sculpture, painting, and film. This interdisciplinary approach, involving the study of a range of texts, will provide a critical foundation for understanding the complex legacies of colonialism and the ongoing processes of resistance to imperial systems. Our texts will include theoretical works by Aimé Césaire, Edwidge Danticat, Frantz Fanon, and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o; novels by Deepa Anappara, Tsitsi Dangarembga, and Amitav Ghosh; poetry by Natalie Diaz, Solmaz Sharif, and Mahmoud Darwish; photography by Zarina Bhimji and Seydou Keïta; art pieces by El Anatsui, Sonia Boyce, and Yinka Shonibare; and films by Mati Diop and Saul Williams. Students will write weekly canvas posts and two short analytical essays, prepare a presentation on one of the assigned readings, and put together a research paper that will be a “work in progress” during the semester. This course satisfies the Identity and Power requirement as well as the Global, Transatlantic, and Transnational Perspective requirement. Prerequisite: GENG 513 (ME) or another 500-level lit course (CWP).

ARTivism: Spoken Word & HipHop- In the middle of a severe global crisis, or what Gilles Lipovetsky has called “a society of deception,” street poets rise up to defy the dominant culture in its political, philosophic, and economic facets. Representatives from the socially conscious Hip-Hop movement choose to fight social injustice through the spoken word, addressing the struggle of marginalized people, the contemporary class tensions, the overpowering role of corporations in today’s society, or the effects of international policies fueled by globalization, among other topics. From the underground, young hip-hop artists aim to inform their followers of contemporary political and social issues, which are currently being undermined and minimized by the mainstream media. These cultural representations exemplify the creation on a new space of fusion, a borderless space, where collaboration between Spanish speaking countries unifies to put forth a common message of tolerance and universal change, proclaiming a unified globalized human citizenship who fight together in hopes to pursue the common good. In this course, students will examine artistic representation of these hip-hop thinkers and activists from the Spanish-Speaking world, whose common goal is to take the culture that unites many young people these days and channel it toward political engagement.

In accord with the Renaissance Program's commitment to foster the integration of theoretical and practical learning, the design of this course is to promote the investigation of some theme or problem having a particularly interdisciplinary focus.

ARTivism: Spoken Word & HipHop- In the middle of a severe global crisis, or what Gilles Lipovetsky has called “a society of deception,” street poets rise up to defy the dominant culture in its political, philosophic, and economic facets. Representatives from the socially conscious Hip-Hop movement choose to fight social injustice through the spoken word, addressing the struggle of marginalized people, the contemporary class tensions, the overpowering role of corporations in today’s society, or the effects of international policies fueled by globalization, among other topics. From the underground, young hip-hop artists aim to inform their followers of contemporary political and social issues, which are currently being undermined and minimized by the mainstream media. These cultural representations exemplify the creation on a new space of fusion, a borderless space, where collaboration between Spanish speaking countries unifies to put forth a common message of tolerance and universal change, proclaiming a unified globalized human citizenship who fight together in hopes to pursue the common good. In this course, students will examine artistic representation of these hip-hop thinkers and activists from the Spanish-Speaking world, whose common goal is to take the culture that unites many young people these days and channel it toward political engagement.

Women and Gender in Film explores the diverse roles women have taken in film from an intersectional perspective that includes analysis of gender along with considerations of race, class, migrant status, disability status, religious/spiritual identity, or other dimensions of diversity. Through readings, lectures and film analysis students will be able to consider how gender constructions have influenced the roles women and non-gender conforming individuals could take in film as an industry and in film as an art, focusing primarily in film production in the United States. Through a social justice lens, this course will lead students to become aware of how gender constructions are circulated, recast, and reinforced through film, which can also be a space for resistance, change and imagination of a more egalitarian future.
