This course will introduce students to a variety of critical approaches to literature and film by studying those theories in relation to specific texts and topical approaches such as culture and ethnicity, desire and sexuality, or identity and spirituality. Through the interviews provided by Williams, we will also search for insights into how literary and cultural theorists work . Students can expect to write three or four short essays and make a small group presentation in addition to writing a major research paper.
