ENGL 7331 - Theories of Literature and Social Justice

3 hrs

Theoretical and critical perspectives on literature which address and analyze social justice issues. A central aim of the course is to examine theories and practices that aim to combat inequities and injustices by interrogating assumptions underlying social categories such as “race” “class,” “gender,” “sexual orientation,” and “nationality.” May be repeated for credit when topics vary (for example: Contemporary Literary Theories, Feminist Criticism, History of Literary Theory and Criticism, Theories of Social Change).
