ENGL 1080

The creative use of language in literature, cinema, and related media enables us to explore the issues that have mobilized communities in different eras and English-speaking regions of the globe. Using case studies on issues that resonate from the past into the present, students will employ close reading methods to investigate how language gives form to ideas, and use academic writing as a vehicle for conveying an argument about these ideas. Reading- and writing-intensive course. [Restriction(s): This is a priority access course. Enrolment in the fall semester may be restricted to students registered in the English major, minor, area of concentration, Creative Writing minor, or in semesters one or two of the BA or BAS program.][Department(s): School of Theatre, English, and Creative Writing]
