ENG 522 - Studies in Lit of Diversity

Institution:

Elmhurst University

Subject:

English Courses

Description:

This course examines the literature of diversity and cultural perspective. Making use of authors writing from all parts of the globe, students will explore how literature negotiates relationships between a dominant culture and subcultures existing within and alongside it. Applying the tools of literary and cultural analysis to investigate the role of power, the process of establishing community, and the potential for a subculture to find voice in literary texts, this course will expose students to the wide-ranging values, beliefs, and practices that increasingly influence the classroom and workplace. Through written, computer-based, and oral assignments, students will recognize and articulate how various cultural experiences and value systems shape, and are shaped by, each other.
