ENG 193 — Literature of the Other
ENG 193 is a literature elective which explores the writing of authors who have been Othered within their societies for reasons including, but not limited to, race, gender, sexuality, religion, national origin, political dissent, social class, cultural affiliation, or ethnic or gender identity. Students read diverse texts from various time periods and gain insight into their distinctive social, cultural, and historical/political development. The course may be organized by genre and/or theme and may include an in-depth exploration of a selected author, text, or cultural community. Students will complete a variety of writing assignments designed to develop skills in literary analysis including formal, literature-based essays. This course is designed for students who have already demonstrated college-level skills in essay writing and provides a foundation for upper-level literature courses.
