LIT 400 Multicultural Literature
At the end of this course, students will understand how to read literature to gain insight into cultures and human experiences different from their own, from both past cultures and present cultures. Student analysis of texts will allow them to grow in empathy and awareness that will help prepare them as they move into increasingly diverse personal and professional spaces. The readings selected will be a mixture of long form (book length) and short form (essay) readings. Literary analysis expressed through written communication will take the rhetorical forms of description, analysis, and reflection.
