Course Delivery: IN PERSON
This course introduces students to university-level literary studies, including the reading of creative texts (short stories, novels, plays, poems, films, graphic novels); the theory and practices of literary and cultural criticism; the role of historical, political, and cultural factors influencing and mediated by literary and cultural texts; and research and writing skills. We will read such canonical works as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Shakespeare’s Othello to investigate representations of “the other” and these foundational texts will lead us to more recent works that likewise raise important questions about gender, sexuality, race, class, nationalism, colonialism, and language.
Classes will combine lectures and small discussion groups, and students will develop a critical vocabulary to analyze texts across genres from a variety of historical periods, geographic regions, and artistic movements. The course also spends significant time on writing and research skills and students should be prepared for in-class writing assignments and hands-on workshops as well as outside class work. Regular attendance and participation form part of the evaluation. No Generative AI tools are permitted in this course in order for students to build essential skills in thinking, reading, and writing within a supportive environment.

ENGL-1004-006 | Reading Culture: Supernatural Folklore | C. Tosenberger
Course Delivery: IN PERSON
In this course, we will study narratives of the supernatural: ghosts, monsters, devilry, witchcraft, and assorted creepy things. We’ll examine the links and disjunctions between folk narratives and popular mass-mediated discourse; of special interest are the cultural "conspiracy theories" that create a fertile landscape for real-life persecution and prosecution, particularly the early modern European witchcraft craze and the "Satanic panic" of the 1980's. Throughout, we will examine how these narratives circulate in both folk and "official" culture, as well as within fictionalized mass media.
