Instructor: Professor Belinda Walzer
CRN: 12907

We will read theoretical texts from these major conversations with an eye towards applying them to examples of rhetoric drawn from contemporary issues of human rights and social justice.

Catalog description: Offers a foundational course designed for English majors. Introduces the methods and topics of English literary and textual studies, including allied media (e.g., film, graphic narrative). Explores strategies for reading, interpreting, and theorizing about texts; for conducting research; for developing skills in thinking analytically and writing clearly about complex ideas; and for entering into written dialogue with scholarship in the diverse fields that comprise literary studies.

In this version of the course, we will read a number of poems, short stories, and critical articles that will allow us to engage with the above goals in a variety of ways, both informal and formal. Our central text is Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behavior (2012), a tale of endangered monarch butterflies and the humans who become caught up in their fight for survival in, of all places, rural Tennessee (the butterflies attempt to overwinter here when they should have gone further south to Mexico). Kingsolver offers us lyrical writing and insightful characterization while exploring the most pressing issue of our time: keeping ecologies diverse and thriving in the face of climate change and human intervention. Requirements: a series of short papers, oral presentations, and a final independent project.

Instructor: Professor Gary Goshgarian
CRN: 14139
Sequence: D (9:50-11:30AM TF)
Attributes: 

“Bestseller” is an artificial category determined solely by numbers of books sold.

Sequence: 4 (1:35-2:40PM MWR)
Attributes: 

  • Major Requirement Comparative
  • NU Core Humanities Lvl 1
  • NUpath Analyzing/Using Data (AD)
  • NUpath Interpreting Culture (IC)
  • NUpath Writing Intensive in the Major (WI)
  • *Updated 8/2/17*Enrollment is restricted to freshman and sophomores.

This seminar explores how we tell stories and make arguments in the age of the internet and “big data.” We will investigate literary works from a variety of eras and genres—including fiction, poetry, film, and video games—to see how writers and readers have grappled with the implications of new reading and informational technologies throughout history. We will also study the ways writers have produced new kinds of writing in response to such changes. We will analyze historical interplays among technology, new media, culture, and literature in order to better understand the social and literary upheavals of our own technological moment. Students will develop skills for making sense of textual data, as well as for writing about data and writing with data through a variety of media. Students will weave together code and prose in multimodal, online publications; analyze texts using computational tools; and develop projects, such as literary “bots,” that explore the boundaries between digital technology and creative expression.

Note: “Reading and Writing in the Digital Age” presumes no prior experience with computational methods and thus is well suited for students interested a “hands-on” introduction to the medium that underlies much of early-twenty-first-century life. The class offers all students an opportunity to develop their abilities analyzing, interpreting, and creating texts in a range of media through a blending of traditional and computational methods.

ENGL 3582 – Children’s Literature

Instructor: Professor Erika Boeckeler
CRN: 17467
Sequence: 4 (1:35-2:40PM MWR)
Attributes: 

Once upon a time, there was a class that read children’s classics—such as fairy tales, Jane Eyre, and The Wizard of Oz—as literature, examining their enduring literary effects as well as the history of literacy and the historical construction of childhood in which they appear. The class also considered children’s books as a major site of technical innovation in illustration, interactive design like pop-up and other movable part books, graphic novels, and in electronic literature. In-class discussions were augmented with trips to local archives, conversations with Boston publishers, and Q&A’s with children’s book authors. Everyone left deeply informed about what children’s literature teaches us about reading strategies, the history of literary criticism, theories about education, and the staying power of these tales in our world today. And they all lived happily ever after.

The course will host a symposium that will give us the chance to meet contemporary authors. The course is an introduction to Irish studies and an excellent preparation for students who might like to deepen their study of Irish culture in the Dialogue of Civilization: Irish Literature, Film, and Society in summer 2018. Authors we will read may include: Maria Edgeworth, Augusta Gregory, Kate O’Brien, Somerville and Ross, Anne Enright, Claire Kilroy, Belinda McKeon, and Eimear McBride.

Attributes: 

What are the “nuts and bolts” of English? This course provides you with the basic tools for analyzing sentence structure and understanding how the building blocks of sentences – from articles to appositives –   fit together.  Using a precise vocabulary for talking about the elements of sentences, we will examine our mental grammatical “architecture”, a system of linguistic rules that we follow when we produce and understand sentences.  Along the way, we will observe how structure affects meaning, and discover a new way to see the organizing principles of language.

ENGL 1160 – Introduction to Rhetoric: The Great Debates

Instructor: Professor Belinda Walzer
CRN: 12907
Sequence: 2 (9:15-10:20AM MWR)

Sequence: A (11:45AM-1:25PM MR)
Attributes: 

This course focuses on the use of digital methods to analyze and archive literary texts, with particular attention to the ways in which digital methods can be used to expand (or limit) access to and understanding of literary texts by both canonical and historically marginalized writers and communities. The class will focus on three main areas: text encoding, textual analysis, and archive construction. We will consider literary texts and corpora including works by well-known authors such as Shakespeare, together with collections by marginalized writers, including slave narratives and writings by early modern women. Students will consider what counts as literature, and how computers, databases, and analytical tools give substance to social constructions of aesthetic, cultural, and intellectual value as inflected by race and gender.

ENGL 3381 – Diversity and Inclusion: The Practice and Theory of Teaching Writing in a Transnational Context – Service Learning

Instructor: Professor Belinda Walzer
CRN: 17466
Sequence: *NEW TIME* 2 (9:15-10:20AM MWR)
Attributes: 

How does the study and practice of writing differ across contexts – international, institutional, and/or individual? How does the globalization of higher education impact the courses that almost all students must take at almost all US colleges – the writing course? How does this impact the work that tutors do in a Writing Center? This course takes up the scholarship and conversation around the teaching of writing to engage with these questions and more. This course also offers students an opportunity for a service-learning practicum to work in a local writing center and prepares students for future tutoring in the Northeastern Writing Center or teaching. Students will gain deeper insight into their own writing processes by writing in a variety of genres, conducting primary research, responding to readings, and reflecting on experiences. ENGL 3381 satisfies the experiential learning and writing-intensive requirement for English majors and is a great option for Writing minors and Rhetoric minors.
