EDP, H- In this literature course, students explore a range of texts representing the genre of fiction across space and time, including novels, short stories, microfiction, autofiction, scripted narrative, and related critical materials. The course is based on a rotating theme; examples include 21st Century Abolitionist Literature, Narratives of the Sea, Crime Fiction, Queer Literature, AI in fiction, Representations of Disability in Literature, and Climate Grief Literature. Students practice in-depth analysis of texts, considering genre conventions, historical contexts, themes, and cultural implications for the reading audience of the place and time period, and are also introduced to literary theory.
