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 surveys historical and contemporary art forms of Oceania, a region that includes Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Sculpture, painting, architecture, and body arts will be explored in relation to gender roles, identity, repatriation, and Western influence. Students will learn how material culture, along with the concepts of mana and tapu, sustained highly stratified cultures in places such as Hawaii and New Zealand. We will also study egalitarian societies in which a balanced relationship is maintained with natural environments through daily practices and spiritual beliefs. Students will work with objects from the American Museum of Asmat Art at the University of St. Thomas (AMAA@UST). Films and other digital resources will be used to illustrate how Pacific cultures have changed over time.

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 the WAC Writing Intensive requirement. 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 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 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.

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 and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement.

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 a WAC Writing Intensive requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities 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.

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 fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major.

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. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190, or transfer equivalent

In this course we will investigate the difficulties, complexities, and limits of ethnography – the attempt to represent culture – by exploring questions such as: What are the limits of representation? Is objectivity possible? What are the ethical responsibilities of writing about others? How do we do ethnography without exploiting research “subjects”? Should ethnography be done at all? In pursuing these questions we will engage ethnographic theory of the last forty years from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and folklore, focusing on the ethical turn from ethnography’s colonialist past to a more self-aware, reflexive, and reciprocal ethnography. In addition to looking at various theories about ethnography, we'll also sample ethnographies of the 20th century – from Bronislaw Malinowski to Alice Goffman – paying close attention as well to experimental fiction, non-fiction, and filmed works by Zora Neale Hurston, Karen McCarthy Brown, and others – ultimately posing the questions: what counts as ethnography, and what are the possibilities for it? Student ethnographers in this course will work on community-engaged qualitative research projects during the second half of the semester. Projects will likely focus on issues of sustainability, urban farming, land access, food justice and traditions, and/or new immigrant experience. Interdisciplinary in scope, this course should be of special interest to students in COJO, Sociology, English, Social Work, Art History, Geography, and Justice and Peace Studies. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement. 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.

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.
