    Description
    This course covers reading and written analysis of culturally and internationally diverse complex literary works in all major genres, including poetry, drama, and fiction. Students develop analytical, integrative, and research skills while exploring multicultural perspectives. A variety of cultural and social perspectives are explored through the comparison of different ethnic groups within the U.S., focusing on the influence of non-European and non-Western cultures on the content or style of various texts. Formal writing assignments total at least 5000 words. In-person or virtual attendance at readings, plays, and/or films may be required. This course is designed for multicultural and multilingual students.
