Fall 2024 Course Details: On Race

Come laugh at racism with us! “And there’s something funny—there’s always something a little funny in all our disasters, if one can face the disaster,” said James Baldwin in his “The Uses of the Blues.” This semester, we will apply several different critical approaches to explore and understand what race is. Of our special concern will be the claim that race is a culturally (not biologically) constructed category. The reading list will include literary texts (Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif”), works of African American comedians (Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, etc.), philosophical texts (W. E. B. Du Bois, K. A. Appiah, etc.) as well as some legal documents (recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions concerning affirmative action) and Henry Louis Gates’s recent, Stony the Road.

The general goal of the course is to improve the student’s ability to speak and think critically about race and race relations in the U.S.

This course satisifes the 'Race, Gender & Postcolonial Studies' requirement for English Majors.

This course satisfies the Race & Racial Theories requirement for English Literature, English: TBD, English/Law 3+3, English Teaching Majors.

Additional Course Details:

Welcome to English 725! In this course, we'll think about how to integrate teaching writing with other literacy skills like composing multimedia, reading, speaking, listening, and viewing. We will focus on composing writing and multimedia works, although it is difficult and even undesireable to attempt to separate literacy skills and practices from each other.

We’ll learn about how English teachers meet the needs and interests of a richly varied population of students. We will review standards systems for English teaching, construct and critique teaching documents, and discuss and apply the work of master literacy teachers and theorists.

Working collaboratively, we will examine and compare philosophies of English teaching and learning, and we will develop approaches to writing and literacy instruction. We will discuss theoretical, pedagogical, and practical ideas for teaching writing in large and small groups, engage in reading and composition exercises, produce and practice instructional activities and assessments, and evaluate teaching approaches. Successfully completing this course (which fits together with English 726) will help you recognize and affirm literacy skills and practices, and to consider how they can help your future students write, compose, comprehend, describe, analyze, and evaluate various texts.

This course is open to all students with Junior or Senior status, and required for all English Teaching majors.

Welcome to English 725L! This seminar “lab” is a practicum experience that runs alongside of English 725, its co-requisite. Traditionally, this lab has encouraged students to design either a classroom-based mini-internship or a qualitative research project (e.g. an interview study, a case study of a young reader/writer, or a article-based study). We will meet every other week during the semester to collaboratively respond to and track students' experiences in these projects.
