ENGL-1000-001 | English 1A: When Books Talk Back | K. Ready
Course Delivery: IN PERSON
This particular section of English 1A (subtitled “When Books Talk Back”) offers a select historical survey of poetry, fiction, and drama in English. The focus will be on texts that are engaged significantly in conversations with other texts and on contextualizing and understanding those conversations. As part of this process, students will be introduced to various critical theories and terms in order to get a sense of important developments in the history of different literary genres, of how different writers fit into literary history and culture, and, finally, of how different texts are speaking to each other within that history.

ENGL-1003-002 | Intro Topics in Literature: Literature, Climate, and the Environment | H. Milne
Course Delivery: IN PERSON
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of reading and writing about literature through the study of fiction, poetry, and essays about climate and the environment. While much of our focus will be on contemporary “cli fi” (or climate fiction) and ecopoetics, we will also spend some time analyzing older literary works in order to understand the history of literary engagements with climate and nature. We will consider how nature has functioned in literature as screen onto which writers have projected their own anxieties, and we will consider the connections between nature, climate, colonialism, and capitalism as these themes are explored in fiction and poetry. We will also devote considerable attention to developing research and essay writing skills.
