LITR235 - Four Points of the Compass: Culture and Society Around the World

Course Details

Course Code: LITR235 Course ID: 5252 Credit Hours: 3 Level: Undergraduate

Come along on a discovery of contemporary world culture from the four points of the compass! Over the eight weeks of the course, we will travel the globe to see how artists express culture in novels, poems, drama, and film. In this way, we will take a thematic and geographic approach to explore issues that are not only particular to individual societies but also have an impact on an increasingly diverse world. Along the way, we will make stops in, among other places, Africa, South America, Asia, and the Middle East. Buckle up for an artistic and literary tour de force. (Pre-requisite: ENGL210 for English majors, or ENGL101 or ENGL110 for non-English majors)
