    Description
    Advisory: ENGL C1000. Honors World Literature uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: writing-intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. As an honors course, there is a focus on analytical writing and an emphasis on a higher degree of student participation and leadership in class discussions and other interactive teaching/learning techniques that are generally unsuitable for larger undergraduate classes. This course surveys and compares literature from around the world produced between 1650 and the present, emphasizing literature outside the Anglo-American tradition. Students have the opportunity to analyze and compare texts representing various genres from different cultural regions, including Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Through this cross-cultural study of literature, students have the opportunity to engage in thinking critically about cultural diversity and related issues—such as global migrations, international power dynamics, and transnational patterns of inequality—in a world context.
