  •  4510 ENGL 2890   SEM 101

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    Television mediates our national and domestic life more than we may realize. From its origins, TV--even for those who consume little of it--has represented, even regulated, our experiences of childhood and adolescence, production and consumption, politics and citizenship. It seeks to define us as people, workers, and citizens. In this course, we will develop ways to read and to write about the small screen as a cultural text. In doing so, we will explore how the genres, institutions and ideologies of contemporary television both reflect and refract our national and domestic life. Writing assignments will include analyses of television series, of the Super Bowl live broadcast, of single advertisements and episodes.

  • Topic: Beyond Sex: Asexuality, Friendship, and Polyamory

  •  4509 ENGL 2890   SEM 102

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    This course explores concepts like desire, friendship, pleasure, and intimacy through asexual, aromantic, and polyamorous perspectives. Our class wants to ask: Why and how are we compelled to structure relationships around sex? How might sex limit our capacities for ethical togetherness? What does non-sexual pleasure or intimacy look and feel like? What is love beyond romance? How might we cultivate a more intimate and politically useful vision of friendship? How might ace, aro, or poly perspectives help people have more empowering sex or relationships? To answer these questions, we’ll explore various poems, zines, comics, films, and short novels, in addition to theory by Audre Lorde, Angela Chen, Ela Przybylo, Michel Foucault, and Jessica Fern. Writing projects include personal reflections, short analytical pieces, creative writing activities, and a critical memoir final.

  •  4511 ENGL 2890   SEM 103

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    Creative nonfiction can be a powerful tool with which to excavate and examine our lives. Writers have used it to center and communicate lived experience from the margins, dealing with themes of empire, sexuality, race, gender and class made personal and specific. Students will learn how to harness introspection, develop their own voice, discover their themes and characters, and use structure, setting, expressive language and research to communicate their ideas. They will write essays based on personal experience as well as research while considering carefully their options and choices surrounding the expression or use of form and constraint, scene and exposition, images and details, dreams and memory, characters and dialogue, cities and places, time and timelines and, finally, honoring the past while imagining the future.

  •  4512 ENGL 2890   SEM 104

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    Everyone dies. Death is often viewed as an insurmountable boundary, but we enter into a dialogue with the dead when we read the words they’ve left behind. With death as our framework, we will ask: What are the ethical implications of witnessing the death of another? How do monuments and archives mark some lives as more valuable than others? Who decides who lives and who dies? How do we imagine the unthinkable, that our planet is dying? We will discuss perspectives on death from philosophy, psychology, medicine, as well as poetry, film, and television (The Farewell, The Good Place). Students will write personal narratives, oral histories, multimedia public essays (such as an op-ed, documentary, or podcast), and collaboratively create an annotated digital map of monuments.

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    "Apocalypse" is the end of the world--or ourselves--but it also introduces new forms of being, desire and knowledge. In this course we'll analyze apocalyptic fantasies by writing critical essays: a skill (and art) that crosses disciplines. Course material includes the cult novel that inspired zombie apocalypse movies (I am Legend, by Richard Matheson), three accounts of apocalyptic desire (Polanski’s Chinatown, Tarentino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Joan Didion’s The White Album) and three works staging the collapse of mundane reality (excerpts from The Autobiography of Malcom X, Allen Ginsberg's Howl, and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House).

  •  4514 ENGL 2890   SEM 106

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    Journalistic podcasts, like NPR favorites Invisibilia, Radiolab, Rough Translation, and Hidden Brain, pull together research, interviews, and personal experiences with music and soundscapes in order to explore contemporary social issues. In this course, you will study these podcasts and compose your own research-based podcast. To compose, you will learn to use Audacity (a free software), conduct interviews, collect secondary research, write podcast scripts, and incorporate Creative Commons sounds and music. Using podcasts as a multimodal form of inquiry, you will select and research a social issue that affects you. While podcasts will be the subject of this course, it will foster stronger writing by asking you to write a lot, substantially revise, and be able to explain and identify how different types of writing work (knowledge about writing).

  •  5802 ENGL 4920   SEM 101

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    What do love, torture, and ecstasy all have in common? How could they all be considered spiritual experiences? The thirteenth century brought a new and intense focus on the body of Christ, bloodied, wounded, and tortured. Female and male mystics began to describe Jesus as a lord, lover, and even mother in most intimate—and even sexual—terms. Guides for meditation, memory work, and holy living focused on bodily practices for approaching the divine and replicating the suffering of Christ. In this course we will explore a range of literary texts and artistic representations that illuminate this religious and aesthetic ethos. Readings will be in modern and medieval English, and will also include contemporary theoretical texts.
