ENG 205 Introduction to English Studies I

English 205 is an inquiry-based course that introduces students to methodologies, concepts and questions central to the discipline of English Studies, especially the subfields of literary criticism and theory, rhetoric and composition studies, and creative writing. Students will be asked to identify their own assumptions about reading and writing and will have many (and varied) opportunities to generate compelling readings of a diverse array of texts. Particular attention will be paid to the ways race, class, gender and sexuality can influence the interrelated processes of reading and writing.
