ENGL by Major Requirement

ENGL 1000 English at Northeastern

Instructor: Professor Neal Lerner
Sequence:  W 11:45-1:25 PM
Attributes:

Intended for first-year students in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities. Introduces first-year students to the liberal arts in general; familiarizes them with their major; helps them develop the academic skills necessary to succeed (analytical ability and critical thinking); provides grounding in the culture and values of the University community; and helps them develop interpersonal skills—in short, familiarizes students with all skills needed to become a successful university student.

ENGL 1160 Introduction to Rhetoric

Instructor: Professor Beth Britt
Sequence: 4- MWR 1:3-2:40 PM
Attributes:

  • Major Requirement/s Foundational, Theories and Methods
  • NUPath Interpreting Culture (IC), Understanding Societies and Institutions (SI)

How do we influence others, and how do others influence us? How do we come to beliefs about ourselves, each other, and the world around us? How do verbal and nonverbal symbols—such as images, architecture, clothing, music, and bodies themselves—influence our beliefs and actions? These are questions about rhetoric, which George Kennedy defines as “the energy inherent in emotion and thought, transmitted through a system of signs, including language, to others to influence their thought and action.” Because one of the best ways to learn about rhetoric is to use the tools of rhetoric to analyze the world around you, rhetorical analysis is the foundation of this class. Rhetoric is inherently contextual; analyzing rhetoric means understanding its context. In the first part of the course, we’ll immerse ourselves in the current context, analyzing written and verbal rhetorics drawn from contemporary issues. In the second part of the course, we’ll extend our reach to other kinds of rhetorics: visual, material, and nonhuman. For your projects throughout the course, you can work on topics of your own choosing. Assignments include two formal papers, peer reviews, and a group project.

ENGL 1400 Introduction to Literary Studies

Section 1

Instructor: Professor Kathleen Kelly
Sequence: B – MW 2:50-4:30 PM

Section 2

Instructor: TBD
Sequence: 3 – MWR 10:30-11:35 AM

Attributes:

Offers an introduction to the diverse fields that comprise literary studies for English majors and minors. Surveys the methods and topics of English literary and textual studies, including a wide range of media (e.g., images, film, and graphic narrative). Explores strategies for reading, interpreting, and theorizing about texts, including how race, gender, sexuality, class, and colonialism are represented in literary texts, other media, and scholarship. Focuses on developing skills in thinking analytically, writing clearly about complex ideas, and conducting research. In or version of the course, we will read a number of poems, short stories, critical articles, non-print materials, film, and video that will allow us to engage with the above goals in a variety of ways, both informal and formal. Much of the material that I have chosen are deliberately non-mainstream and non-canonical so that we can concentrate on the act and art of reading—of texts and of films and other media as well.

ENGL 1701 Global Literatures 2

Instructor: Professor  Patrick Mullen
Sequence: D – TF  9:50-11:30 AM
Attributes:

Introduces students to selected global literary works from the 16th century to the present. May include works such as some of the following: Africa (A. Igoni Barrett’s Blackass, from Nigeria); the Americas (Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony from the Laguna people, Popol Vuh, from the Mayan peoples, and Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits, from Chile); Asia (Anita Desai, Clear Light of Day from India and Kyung Sook’s Look After Mother from South Korea); Europe (Evliya Çelebi’s Book of Travels: The City of Boudonitza from Turkey, Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote from Spain, and François Rabelais’ Gargantua and Pantagruel from France). In translation when necessary.

ENGL 1600 Introduction to Shakespeare

Instructor: Professor Erika Boeckeler
Sequence: 4 – MWR 1:35-2:40 PM
Attributes:

The study of Shakespeare offers alternatives to, and the roots of, contemporary ideas about human identity. This course pays careful attention to how Shakespeare’s texts and their contexts reflect and promulgate ideas about race, gender, sexuality, and non-human and human “others” to offer a deep history to our contemporary discourses. An introduction to the plays in every genre, the course provides a rigorous training in reading and understanding Shakespeare’s language. Shakespearean poetry is not simply a casual vehicle for creating character or plot, but integral to the visceral power of the plays. An initial in-depth study of the first play will provide a foundational knowledge of rhetorical strategies, considerations of performance, thematic development, and historical context that will then shimmer throughout discussions of the other plays. Assignments are geared toward personalizing Shakespeare to grapple with contemporary individual and social issues, developing critical thinking about rhetoric and book history, archival research, and international collaborative reading. How does Shakespeare help us think through today’s world?

ENGL 3120 17th- and 18th-Century Literatures: Gender and Racial Capitalism

Instructor: Professor Elizabeth Dillon
Sequence: 4 – MWR 1:35-2:40 PM
Attributes:

The eighteenth century saw the birth of a new economic system premised on colonialism in the Americas and the extraction of land and labor by Europeans from Indigenous people and enslaved Africans. The social, cultural, and political worlds of Europeans, Native Americans, and diasporic Africans underwent enormous changes: gender and sexuality helped to organize the new world of racial capital that emerged. In this class, we explore the intersecting texts and performances of settler colonials, diasporic Africans, and Native Americans with a focus on the role of gender and race in the eighteenth-century Anglo-Atlantic World. We will focus, in particular, on the relation of gender and race to empire, nationhood, property ownership, and the environment; we will read across a range of genres, from slave narratives, to captivity narratives, to poetry, novels, and plays of the period.

ENGL 3619 Emerson and Thoreau

Instructor: Professor Theo Davis
Sequence: A – MR 11:45 AM-1:25 PM
Attributes:

This course will take a close look at the essays, poetry, and journals of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, two nineteenth-century American writers and friends. In their often whimsical, prophetic, philosophical and at times personal writings, they each considered what it would mean to think that a new day was dawning in human existence: how might persons live to their true potential, in harmony with nature and with society? In addition to studying these writers’ literary and philosophical achievements, we’ll consider their troubled friendship, and their circle of colleagues, friends, and rivals. Requirements: three six to seven page papers and a reading journal. This course will include a field trip to Concord, Mass., where Emerson and Thoreau both lived.

ENGL/ARTE 2301 The Graphic Novel 

Instructor: Professor Hillary Chute
Sequence: A – MR 11:45 AM-1:25 PM
Attributes:

  • Major Requirement/s 20th-21st Centuries
  • NUPath Exploring Creative Expression and Innovation (EI), Interpreting Culture (IC)

Explores the word-and-image medium of comics as a narrative form. Focuses on the contemporary phenomenon of the so-called graphic novel. What are the preoccupations of today’s graphic novels? How does their storytelling work? Some work in translation is included, but the course largely concentrates on the American tradition, focusing on fiction, memoir, and nonfiction reporting and adaptation. Offers students an opportunity to learn practices of reading—and making—comics. Emphasizes the formal language, or grammar, of comics in order to interpret its narrative procedure and possibilities.

ENGL 3161 20th- and 21st-Century Literatures: Composite Aesthetics – Race as Technology

Instructor: Professor Eunsong Kim
Sequence: F – TF 1:35-3:15 PM
Attributes:

This course will examine the relationship between literature, race and technology. We will examine the history of technological innovation through gendered and racialized frameworks, engaging with US Multi-Ethnic literature in which reproductive labor, maintenance work, network and circulation theories, and surveillance technologies are represented. As we read historical, theoretical and literary texts that analyze the intersections between race, literature and technology, we will grapple with questions such as: how is work and labor imagined in literature and representation? How and when do these narratives become racialized? How and when do machines/workers become violent in the plot? We will read contemporary fiction and poetry and use critical race and feminist theory to navigate our questions.

ENGL 1450 Reading & Writing in the Digital Age

Instructor: Professor Jim McGrath
Sequence: 3 –  MWR 10:30-11:35 AM
Attributes:

  • Major Requirement/s Comparative
  • NUPath Interpreting Culture (IC), Analyzing and Using Data (AD), Writing Intensive in the Major (WI)

Grapples with the long and sometimes tumultuous relationship between texts and new media technologies. Offers students opportunities to historicize and engage the social and intellectual upheavals of our own technological moment through reading, discussion, writing projects, and practicums that seek to develop skills for analyzing the data and metadata of texts through both qualitative and quantitative methods.

ENGL 2510 Horror Fiction

Instructor: Professor Gary Goshgarian
Sequence: F – TF 1:35-3:15 PM
Attributes:

This course explores English and American horror fiction from Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker (author of Dracula), to contemporary writers such as Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Dean Koontz,  Tananarive Due, Neil Gaiman, and Clive Barker. Using short stories, novels, and movies (from adaptations of Dracula to Jordan Peele’s “Get Out”), we will examine the evolution of horror fiction and the various themes, techniques, and uses of the macabre—that is, depictions of the frightening, the gruesome, and death. We will also explore the nature of Evil and the various depictions of it in our readings.

Student writing: announced quizzes, midterm & final take-home essay exams (7-10 pages); optional critical analysis of some horror work not read in the course (7-10 pages)

ENGL 2695 Travel Writing (Online)

Instructor: Professor Kathleen Kelly
Sequence: Online
Attributes:

  • Major Requirement/s Comparative or Writing (either/or; cannot count for both)
  • NUPath Exploring Creative Expression and Innovation (EI), Interpreting Culture (IC)

Most people have a phone full of pictures of places they’ve visited, even for a day. People love taking selfies in front of world-famous places—Stonehenge, Niagara Falls, the Taj Mahal, Mt. Fuji. We take pictures, collect postcards, and buy souvenirs to remind us of the experiences we’ve had across town, across the country, across the world. We are enlarged each time we reach beyond what is known and familiar. This course is intended to enrich your experiences away from home. You will learn about travel writing and place-based writing by reading examples of the two genres (many about the place where you happen to be), as well as reading what experienced travel writers, critics, and scholars have to say about travel writing and place-based writing. You will also contribute your own thoughtful, informed observations about traveling through essays, photo-collages, and videos. Your experiences are the foundation for everything that you create in this course.

ENGL/AFRS/WMNS 3900 Gender and Black World Literatures

Instructor: Professor Moya Bailey
Sequence: B – MW 2:50-4:30 PM
Attributes:

Explores different aspects of the literary and cultural productions of black women throughout history. Examines writing by women in the United States—like Octavia Butler, Zora Neale Hurston, and Toni Morrison—in addition to writing by women across the global African diaspora—like Chimamanda Adichie and Jamaica Kincaid. Students may also engage with theories such as Black feminism, womanism, or intersectionality; consider issues of genre such as the novel, poetry, or science fiction; and explore key themes such as class, sexuality, and disability. AFRS 3900, WMNS 3900, and ENGL 3900 are cross-listed.

ENGL 1140 Grammar: The Architecture of English

Instructor: Professor Janet Randall
Sequence: 3 – MWR 10:30-11:35 AM
Attributes:

Provides students with the basic tools for analyzing how sentences work. Whenever we produce or understand a sentence, we are following unconscious rules of grammar, our internalized “architecture” of English. In this course, we learn a new method for discovering and describing sentence structure and as well as a useful set of tools for analyzing language in all of its representations.

ENGL 1160 Introduction to Rhetoric

Instructor: Professor Beth Britt
Sequence: 4- MWR 1:3-2:40 PM
Attributes:

  • Major Requirement/s Foundational, Theories and Methods
  • NUPath Interpreting Culture (IC), Understanding Societies and Institutions (SI)

How do we influence others, and how do others influence us? How do we come to beliefs about ourselves, each other, and the world around us? How do verbal and nonverbal symbols—such as images, architecture, clothing, music, and bodies themselves—influence our beliefs and actions? These are questions about rhetoric, which George Kennedy defines as “the energy inherent in emotion and thought, transmitted through a system of signs, including language, to others to influence their thought and action.” Because one of the best ways to learn about rhetoric is to use the tools of rhetoric to analyze the world around you, rhetorical analysis is the foundation of this class.

ENGL 3458 Language Matters: Language, Race, and Power

NOTE: This class is no longer being offered as of 4/8/21.

ENGL 2695 Travel Writing (Online)

Instructor: Professor Kathleen Kelly
Sequence: Online
Attributes:

  • Major Requirement/s Comparative or Writing (either/or; cannot count for both)
  • NUPath Exploring Creative Expression and Innovation (EI), Interpreting Culture (IC)

Most people have a phone full of pictures of places they’ve visited, even for a day. People love taking selfies in front of world-famous places—Stonehenge, Niagara Falls, the Taj Mahal, Mt. Fuji. We take pictures, collect postcards, and buy souvenirs to remind us of the experiences we’ve had across town, across the country, across the world.

ENGL 2700 Creative Writing

Instructor: Professor Frank Blessington
Sequence: 3 – MWR 10:30-11:35
Attributes:

Gives the developing writer an opportunity to practice writing various forms of both poetry and prose. Features in-class discussion of student work.

ENGL 2710 Style and Editing (Online)

Instructor: Professor Beth Britt
Sequence: ONLINE

Attributes:

Style is often imagined as the clothes with which we dress our thoughts. Such an understanding tends to separate what we say from how we say it. Since antiquity, philosophers and others have urged speakers and writers to speak as plainly as possible to allow the truth of their thoughts to emerge unadulterated by language. Others have argued that language and thought cannot be so neatly separated, that what we say cannot be disentangled from how we say it. Drawing on the rhetorical tradition, this course explores the relationship between style and substance through close attention to choices made at the level of the paragraph, sentence, and word. In the first part of the course, you’ll learn standard vocabularies for describing the stylistic techniques of published authors, and you’ll use imitation (a practice common among classical and Renaissance theorists) to make these techniques your own. In the second part, you’ll learn to revise your own prose to make it more clear and elegant. In the third part, you’ll learn techniques used by professional editors to make documents more consistent and useful to readers. Our emphasis throughout the course will be on how stylistic choices and editorial practices, rooted in community conventions, shape social reality. Assignments include online discussions, quizzes, two papers, and an editing project.

Instructor: Professor Eunsong Kim
Sequence: G  – 3:25-5:05 PM
Attributes:

This course will focus on the writing and reading of poetry. We will experiment with a range of forms and techniques, from sestinas to blank and free verse, to ars poeticas and epistolary poems. As we write and read each other’s poem, we will engage in discussions concerning the politics of form, the stakes of metaphor, the ethics of witness, and the tensions of documentation. Each week we will workshop a poem, and discuss the possibilities of new technique. Writers in the course will work to provide careful feedback for the poems presented in the workshop and work to experiment with various forms/techniques. Poets in the course will practice reading and memorizing their poetry and the poems of others, culminating in a final reading and class anthology.

ENGL 3378 Fiction Workshop

Instructor: Professor Gary Goshgarian
Sequence: D – TF 9:50-11:30 AM
Attributes:

This is a fiction-writing workshop, the objective of which is to get you started on the novel you always wanted to write. With an eye to producing material worthy of publication, our primary objective is for you to produce at least two solid chapters (the first and a subsequent chapter) and an enticing synopsis which will serve as bases to develop and eventually present to a literary agent and or editor. Any fictional genre is acceptable—mainstream, literary, mystery, thriller, horror, science fiction, romance, western, etc.—all but vampire or zombie stories. Those have been overdone. I do not encourage writing short stories since they don’t sell. You will be expected to read your own material in class for round-table response and to offer comments on others’ material.

HONR 3310 Honors Seminar: Found Poetry

Instructor: Professor Ellen Noonan
Sequence: D – TF 9:50-11:30 AM
Attributes:

For a course that’s really about “borrowing” to compose our own work, let me start by borrowing from Annie Dillard:

“Happy poets who write found poetry go pawing through popular culture like sculptors on trash heaps. They hold and wave aloft usable artifacts and fragments: jingles and ad copy, menus and broadcasts — all objet trouvés, the literary equivalents of Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans and Duchamp’s bicycle. By entering a found text as a poem, the poet doubles its context. The original meaning remains intact, but now it swings between two poles. The poet adds, or at any rate increases, the element of delight. This is an urban, youthful, ironic, cruising kind of poetry. It serves up whole texts, or interrupted fragments of texts.”

In Found Poetry Workshop, we will all be “happy poets.” Though we will look at examples of the form—via Found Poetry Review’s archives and texts like Charles Simic’s Dime Store Alchemy and Mary Ruefle’s A Little White Shadow, to name a few—most of the class will be hands-on: making/composing individual and group found (and interdisciplinary!) texts, and workshopping what we make/compose. Forms and practices will include (but will not be limited to): erasures, centos, cut-ups, 3-D poems, and remixes.

ENGL 2760 Writing in Global Contexts

Instructor: Professor Qianqian Zhang-Wu

Students may also engage with theories such as Black feminism, womanism, or intersectionality; consider issues of genre such as the novel, poetry, or science fiction; and explore key themes such as class, sexuality, and disability. AFRS 3900, WMNS 3900, and ENGL 3900 are cross-listed.

ENGL 4710 Capstone Seminar: Modernist Cities

Instructor: Professor Patrick Mullen
Sequence: F – TF 1:35-3:15 PM
Attributes: 

  • Major Requirement/s Capstone
  • NUPath Demonstrating Thought and Action in a Capstone (CE), Writing-Intensive in the Major (WI)

This course will invite students to investigate modernist literature and art in relation to the cities that inspired them. We will learn about the social, political, and economic histories of key urban centers and consider the importance of these places in the circuits of international modernism. We will begin with Charles Baudelaire and the city of Paris, the city that critic Walter Benjamin dubbed “the capital of the nineteenth century.” Baudelaire gave us that creature of the modern city, the flaneur that was to shape creative responses to urban space. From here we will move and among other connections, we will explore James Joyce and Dublin, Langston Hughes and New York, Virginia Woolf and London. These writers were all insiders and outsiders. Now iconic figures of their time and place, they were also marginalized in terms of race, gender, sexuality, and class. We will explore how the processes of inclusion and exclusion shaped their art and we will look at a series of others, a list which might include: WB Yeats, Lady Augusta Gregory, Claude McKay, Zora Neal Hurston, Joseph Conrad, and Arthur Conan Doyle. We will end by considering how writers and artists have shaped and are shaped by Boston. Students will be invited to undertake projects on writers and cities of their choice, both scholarly and creative projects welcome.
