American Literature Topics course focuses on contemporary and post-modern
works by Native American authors, three of which have been made into

critical reading of class texts and to write clear, well organized, basically
grammatical expository prose. Required Texts:

This
course will examine the ways humans construct and interact with the world in
scientific, historical, and imaginative texts. We will pay particular attention to the
theme of representation-how humans represent the world, nature, themselves,
and the other beings that share the world with us. Most of those
representations are organized by principles of sustainability and
interconnectedness, although we will sample other perspectives as we
proceed. Always we will focus
attention on the assumptions and values that shape the perspectives we’re
encountering. |
