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.
