Summer 2022

ENGL 495: Re-Thinking Race & Gender

A discussion-based course that uses the content of American Studies (history, culture, literature, journalism, media) and interdisciplinary methods to re-think how we learn to practice race and gender from within the larger systems of white supremacy and patriarchy. We will examine bias and explore models for disrupting systemic patterns and turning rethinking into everyday action; our aim throughout is to interrogate structures and relations of race and gender, how they get naturalized, and how they can change. Designed and cross-listed for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and teachers in any major/field. When taught as a Summer Institute intensive, the course runs for ten days over three weeks.

July 5-7; 11-14; 18-20
9-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m.
Lech Walesa Hall (LWH) Room 2105
