EWL 220 Social Issues in Literature & Media
In this course, students explore how literature and media can function as a vehicle for addressing various social issues. Students will read literary texts that explore particular social issues and consider what these texts contribute to ongoing social questions and debates. At the same time, students will employ a range of sociological models and concepts to enhance their understanding of these literary texts. Sections of this course may focus on one particular social issue (for example, disability, religion, human rights, the environment) or may explore the intersections between several issues (for example, the intersections of race, class, and gender.)
