Section Information for Fall 2023

This is the gateway course to the English major. As we talk about what it means to claim English as a home place, we'll consider various texts that look closely and deeply at houses and homes. There will be fun homes, homes lost and found, homes we travel toward and away from, haunted houses, queer homes, ecological homes, and pathways toward making new homes in times of pandemic and apocalypse. We'll also discuss the diverse fields of English that make Mason's English department so distinctive and exciting: literature, linguistics, folklore, writing and rhetoric, creative writing, film and media studies, and cultural studies. Join us as we build this English 301 home space together!
