Section Information for Spring 2012

Migration across borders, either by choice or necessity - or some mixture of the two - has become a common global experience. In this course, we will read some of the literature that has sought to capture that experience in fiction and nonfiction. Reading works of migration that bring together Ireland and Nigeria, Haiti and the US, as well as the US and Mexico, among other global connections, this course introduces students to reading texts in terms of their cultural contexts as well as their formal innovations. In addition, English 202 will help develop skills of interpretation, analysis, and communication through the close analysis of imaginative texts.
