    Description
    This course will critically engage with science fiction texts written by American and international authors, and they will consider the aesthetic, cultural, historical, political, religious, and social implications of these works. In addition, students will explore the ways these narratives can be better understood through a rigorous application of a variety of literary theories. Given that the course will emphasize the importance of analytical close-reading, students will complete this course having arrived at a fuller and more nuanced comprehension of the literary value of science fiction.
