LIB-3030: When a Community Weeps The intention of this course is to give students the opportunity to examine the psychological, environmental, socio-political, and spiritual issues encountered during large-scale loss as experienced by and within communities. The global stage has become much smaller indicating that the boundaries of traditional communities has been expanded and we can no longer assume to know who or how tragedy (death and non-death loss) is impacting those around us. Students will learn to identify individual and communal coping strategies, rituals and social-activism methodologies. This subject matter is prevalent within our daily lives and there may be new national or international situations, which will take priority over the weekly schedule.

LIT-3016: Family Sagas: Intergenerational Trauma This course explores the ways literature represents intergenerational trauma as it relates to the experiences of people living in different racialized, gendered, and national subjectivities. We will examine a variety of literary texts including novels, memoirs, short stories, and film to understand the relationship between storytelling, narrative, and intergenerational trauma. We will think critically about the ways that experiences such as racial trauma, domestic violence, and immigration experiences transcend generations, and about how writers have used literature as a means for grappling with the legacies of these experiences. At the same time, we will also consider the complex ways that issues of race, gender, and citizenship intersect in the course texts as we discuss both the possibilities, as well as the limits, of the work performed through literature.

LIT-3020: Indigenous Voices This course delves into the literature and poetry of contemporary Native American authors. We engage the works of Leslie Marmon Silko, Sherman Alexie, Joy Harjo, N. Scott Momaday, Robin Wall Kimmer, and many more. We will endeavor to understand the multitudinous fabric that inspires and informs these writers including: the role of cultural genocide and decline, intersectionality, and the collision of postmodernism and capitalism within native traditions. The resilience of the human spirit, the acknowledgment of tragedy, and the dedication to survival pervades these writings. My hope is to respectfully bear witness to the pains, joys, and complexities of the Native American experience.

LIT-3370: Harlem Renaissance in the Jazz Age: 1920-1938 This course critically examines the Harlem Renaissance as a by-product of the first Great Migration of African Americans from the south to the north at the turn of the century. The Harlem Renaissance, like the Great Migration, came to symbolize a people reborn as they moved from plantation to urban settings. This course focuses on artists, social activists, intellectuals and political operatives of the Harlem Renaissance that include such luminaries as W.E.B. DuBois, Zora Neal Hurston, Duke Ellington, Marcus Garvey, Langston Hughes, Billie Holiday, and Alain Locke. This course introduces students to the history of the United States from the age of exploration to the end of the Civil War. The course explores several questions: What is American history? From whose vantage point is it typically told? What does it mean to write a people’s history? Can history be radical? Although much of history consists of names, dates, places, and people we were once told to memorize by our elementary- and high-school teachers, this course focuses instead on how we make sense of that past and why history is written in the way that is. Among the major themes this course addresses is the question of America and American as identities, places, ideologies and social positions. Though we use these terms often what exactly do we mean by them? What does it mean, for example, to call oneself an American? How does that concept change according to positions of class, race, gender, or sexuality? Can someone from Bolivia call herself an American? Does it mean the same thing to North Americans? If someone tells you while you are travelling abroad that he or she appreciates American culture, is he or she referring to a Jackson Pollack painting, Yosemite National Park, Donald Trump, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, or a hamburger? In this course we will grapple with some of these issues. We will draw upon our own personal experiences to each come up with our own unique definition of American culture. For some this may be as simple as identifying with the neighborhood one grew up in. For others, however, the idea of being American or of American culture may not be bounded by space or time.

LIT-3510: Independent Study Our sense of cultural identity is in flux and under construction, subject to the play of history and difference. Through documentaries, videos and readings of American Indian myths, stories from the Latin American Boom, and vernacular African- American tales, students uncover layered histories of American destinies and their possible role in defining a more inclusive sense of American culture. Students analyze how stories and counter-stories teach and delight; how gender is constructed through cautionary or celebratory tales and how diverse spiritual and erotic values are encoded. Students locate, in stories, the struggle against inhuman violence motivated by greed and fear. Students explore the American Indian presence in Los Angeles, in a powwow, museum visit and guest interview.

LIT-3810: Writing Magical Realism: Making the Familiar Strange This creative writing course draws upon the considerable resources of international magical realist writing in order to support students in developing new approaches to their own creative work. Magical Realism, particularly in its more classic examples, employs imaginative leaps in the context of the ordinary to problematize and playfully resist the limitations of “things as they are.” At the heart of the course is the question: What is the psychological, political, and aesthetic value of imagining that which is said to be impossible? In exploring this question, we will aim to understand how the playful techniques employed by magical realist writers can address many interests and issues, including issues of social justice and forms of colonization. Furthermore, because the worlds of Magical Realism frequently explore the tension between the plausible and the impossible, the matter-of-fact and the extraordinary, creative writers studying this genre are in position to learn how to effectively write both realism and fantasy, as well as how to create a potent balance between (and/or disturbance of) the two.

LIT-3900K: Transforming the Everyday: a Poetry Workshop Using exercises and examples to stimulate the imagination, this workshop focuses on writing. Students explore how we transform the ordinary elements of what’s around us (i.e., our own thoughts and feelings, the external world) into linguistically alive and exciting to read poetry. The day is divided into three sections: reading and discussing examples of contemporary poetry, writing and work-shopping what we’ve written.

LIT-3910: Blackness & Identity in Nonfiction This workshop explores how race, specifically negative concepts of blackness engrained in American history and culture, has shaped the work of nonfiction writers who struggle with the fundamental concept of self and establishing the validity of their own stories and experience. Through film, readings, discussion and writing exercises, students will analyze how racial oppression-slavery, Jim Crow,etc.-was at its core a negation of a valid black self and authoritative black voice. Students will also examine the fluidity between social and individual black reality, and how this fluidity has been consistently reflected and addressed in works from Frederick Douglass to Maya Angelou to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

LIT-3920: A Million Little Lies: Dishonesty & Deception in Creative Nonfiction This one-day workshop considers memoir as both a literary genre and cultural phenomenon, and invites students to wrestle with questions about the ethics of identity appropriation, the limits of creative license, and the ways in which our seemingly insatiable cultural appetite for stories of extremity, excess and trauma help to create an environment that encourages authors to misrepresent their identity or experience. Students are expected to complete all assigned reading prior to the workshop, participate in creative writing exercises, and contribute to robust class discussion.
