| 93364 | LIT3381 | Women Writers of Color | Web-Based (W) | Unavailable | |
| This is a post-1865 literary history class. This class is designated as a "diversity" class. This course will examine theory, poetry, and fiction produced by women writers of color in the Americas. We will investigate how these writers grapple with complex ideas about gender, ethnicity, class, and sexuality while also thinking about how they engage with one another (and us) across time, space, and genre. We will begin by reading the words of writer-theorists like Alice Walker, Audre Lorde, and Gloria Anzaldúa as a way to start understanding key concepts like Womanism and intersectionality. We'll use those theories to examine more closely works from writers like Octavia Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, and NK Jemisin, dabbling in everything from the dystopic to the fantastic and even the hauntingly real. |

| 81675 | LIT3933 | Literature and Law | Web-Based (W) | Unavailable | |
| This is a post-1865 literary history class. This class is designated as a "diversity" class. This section of Literature and Law will examine textual representations of literary (in)justice. We’ll encounter vigilantes, avengers, and other provocative figures who urge us to think critically about how we define justice, put those definitions into practice, and what happens when those definitions are challenged. Through discussions about power, community & the individual, gender, race & ethnicity, religion, the environment, how we use language, and more, we'll consider the larger legal, ethical, and moral implications of the texts. We will wrestle with a host of legal, ethical, and moral conundrums, such as what counts as justice; who determines fair and just punishment for lawbreakers; who determines just compensation for victims; and how and when we determine which laws are worth following and upholding or not. |

LIT 2110.0W61 World Literature 1 Renegades, rebels, rogues, tricksters, and the like will be the focus of this survey of early world literature. We will examine versions of this figure at various times, spaces, and places, from the Greeks to the Mayans to Shakespeare. We will investigate how they work within and against the prevailing ideas of their day, and what their tricks, cons, and/or challenges mean in their varied cultural contexts. Sometimes, our discussion will focus on individual characters, sometimes it may focus on authors, and sometimes the trickster element will be more implicit than explicit. |

LIT 3932.0001 Topics in Popular Fic: Literary Retellings This section of Topics in Popular Fiction is subtitled “Tales from the Other(ed) Side: Literary Re-visions.” We will read contemporary retellings that are based on a variety of texts, including Greek & Roman epics, fairy & folk tales, myths, legends, and more. Not only are these literary retellings of well-known literature, but they are also texts that emphasize the voice of the racialized, gendered, or sexualized “Other.” It isn’t necessary for you to know all of the “original” texts before you read these retellings (although it may be more enjoyable if you do know them). One of our collective goals this semester will be to explore those “old” texts and to consider how and why these “new” versions might still be important and relevant. Please note that even though our readings are "popular" and well-known, many of these texts (like much of the source material they are based on) also contain subject matter that may be triggering to some students. |
