ENG 475 Postcolonial Fictions
Connect with students in Slovenia!
This course focuses on texts by authors from previously colonized nations as well as theoretical works that illuminate post/colonial discourse. We will study post-colonial literatures written primarily in English in the twentieth century by authors from around the world, including Britain, the Americas, South Asia and Africa. Themes and issues we will explore include: problems of identity; notions of exile, hybridity, migration, and nation; and issues of race and imperialism, including Western views of the "Orient" and Africa.
ENG 475 satisfies the International Literatures requirement in the English program and Humanities General Education requirements. Prerequisite: ENG 102. 3 credits.
ENG 475 is a course that lends itself to global exploration, and this coming spring we will have the opportunity to connect with a comparable class in Slovenia. Employing compressed video, Skype, social networking, and a variety of digital resources, we will devote a number of class periods reading, talking, and collaborating with our colleagues at the University of Ljubljana.

WST 305 Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality in American Culture
Considering issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or nationality in narrow, isolated examples is impossible and undesirable if we hope to have a fuller understanding of the patterns, realities, and possibilities of identity, power, culture, and politics in American culture. All of these complex and contradictory dimensions contribute to our identities and material realities as well to our place in relationship to social structures and power relationships. We will consider intersections in the past, present, and future including both local and transnational context. We will consider how we might move beyond the limits of identity politics toward a radical politics of empowerment, justice, and transformation. 3 credit hours.
