This course examines the influence of culture on our own and others’ communication. Students will be introduced to different aspects and levels of culture, including basic principles and theories that explain cultural differences on the group level, and challenges in intercultural communication, such as stereotypes, ethnocentrism, conflicting ethical standards, and racial disparities.

Students are advised to take the course either during or after the sophomore year.

Family is experienced and understood in many ways. Social, legal, and demographic changes shape how families are formed and recognized in the United States. These shifts influence communication within families and larger societal discourses about what constitutes “family.” Family communication scholars have long called for greater attention to a wider range of family experiences. This course examines the communicative experiences of diverse and underrepresented families.

What does it mean to be labeled an African American dramatist? A Latino/a poet? A transgender novelist? An Asian American essayist? A Native American environmental writer? How do the varied experiences and backgrounds of authors writing from diverse subject positions inform, mark, and/or transform their writing? How do the works of these writers fit into, conflict with, actively resist, or even redefine the American Literary canon as it has been traditionally understood? These questions and more will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive reading of literature from: a) American communities of color; b) postcolonial peoples; c) immigrant and/or diasporic peoples; or d) LGBTQ communities. This course will focus on the literary and cultural texts of one or more of these groups with an emphasis on the cultural, political, and historical contexts that surround them. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

This course explores the conventions and innovations of Indigenous Futurisms, an artistic movement in which Indigenous artists imagine futures, pasts, and presents through science fiction and related speculative genres. While settler colonial narratives often relegate Indigeneity to the past, Indigenous Futurisms seek to reclaim timelines, mythologies, ancestral knowledge, oral histories, and technologies as a means to envision, inspire, and assert sovereignty and agency now and in the future. Though the course will primarily focus on literary works, there will also be opportunities to examine how Indigenous Futurisms are expressed through other media such as film, visual arts, and gaming. Often Indigenous Futurisms intersect with environmental literature, Indigiqueer/LGBTQIA2S+ literature, and spiritual literature. Course readings may include, but are not limited to Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction; Love Beyond Body, Space, and Time: An Indigenous LGBT Anthology; The Marrow Thieves; Future Home of the Living God; and various works by Stephen Graham Jones. This course satisfies the WAC Writing to Learn requirement, a core Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 120, 121, or 190.

Introduces students to historical reasoning. Students learn to analyze evidence from the past in context in order to explain how the past produced the ever-changing present. The course introduces students to social, political, cultural, and economic developments from the American Civil War to the present day. It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.

This course traces the development of American popular music from its roots through multiple genres such as minstrelsy, jazz, big band, swing, crooning, jump blues, gospel, rhythm and blues, country, western, folk/protest, and rock 'n' roll, concluding with the British Invasion. Popular music development is critically examined through four interrelated driving forces: identity (ethnicity, gender, culture, generation), centers vs. peripheries (the established vs. the innovative ), technology (impact on musical performance and listening), and business/law (commercial competition and development). Multimedia presentations include extensive audio and video support. Designed for the Popular Music minor.
