ENG 301-351 - Studies in Context

Institution:

Westminster College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prepared by the Introduction to Literary Studies and Critical Theory courses to read individual works closely, students at the 300s level investigate the relationship between texts and the contexts within which they are produced. While these context courses are not seminars, they still call for the development of self awareness and, consequently, selfreliance. Identifying cultural contexts that are both familiar and foreign challenges students to take part in an investigation of their reading and writing experiences in ways that recall, broaden, and deepen the investigations begun in ENG 240. Through the context courses, majors explore their own cultural context and the cultural assumptions that permeate their ways of making and responding to texts. Here they also experience other students’ ways of reading and assessing texts through the processes of collaborative writing and peer review, used at this level to nurture the community of learners established in ENG 240 and fostered by Experiential Studies. Prerequisite/Co-requisite: successful completion of ENG 240 and 250.
