Description

This course allows students to explore the content areas in the English Department by interpreting and responding to a range of texts, including poetry, fictional and non-fictional prose, images, film, and cultural artifacts. Its common theme is the act of interpretation and the ways in which interpretation is shaped by cultural, literary, and social conventions and, in turn, shapes our understanding of the world and the self. The goal of the course is for students to read and engage with an eclectic variety of texts—literary and nonliterary, canonical and non- canonical—and to create their own interpretive frameworks for making meaning.
