In this class, we will engage with fairy tales from oral and literary traditions, as well as retold fairy tales in the forms of short stories, novels, and films. Our goals are to learn about the messages fairy tales convey about self and society, as well as understand how narrative structure and story appeal apply to both scholarly writing and real life. In other words, we&#8217;ll study why the fairy tale is a classic template for coming-of-age experiences as well as more sophisticated political commentaries.

Students will be presented with background on human factors and various real-world applications before transitioning to thinking about taking what has been learned to design their own life in accordance with human factors principles. For instance, students will be asked to reassess their study routines, sleeping habits, and daily technology usage. Students will also be tasked with making changes in their lives which will impact things like their happiness and state of mind.

We begin with essays offering a history of memoir before reading essays describing the nature of memoir and the many issues that often arise\u2014such as memory recall, memory fallibility, unintended misrepresentation and fabrication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We read a variety of essay-length memoirs as well as excerpts from book-length memoirs before turning to Tobias Wolff&#8217;s This Boy&#8217;s Life and Tara Westover&#8217;s Educated. These writers ask interesting questions: What is truth in memoir? How do memoirs differ from fiction? Are memoirists fiction writers in disguise? At what point does embellishment of an event transform into fabrication? Finally, why do we enjoy telling nonfictional stories about ourselves and reading nonfictional stories about other lives?<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-684085663d4da-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?

By reading, viewing, or listening to feminist thinkers from across the globe, both historical and contemporary, students will reflect on the systemic nature of patriarchal oppression that, despite feminist progress on many fronts, continues to marginalize and dehumanize women even today. This course will ask: What are the limitations of white, Western liberal feminism for supporting women&#8217;s rights across lines of national origin, race, ethnicity, religious identity, disability status, socioeconomic standing or caste, sexual orientation, and gender identity? What can transnational, intersectional feminism teach us about the deep connections between patriarchal structures, capitalism, and imperialism, as well as how feminism can address the injustices inherent within all three?

What role can it play today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do women&#8217;s rights relate to human rights more broadly?

We will examine written and multimodal texts of various genres, encompassing both creative nonfiction and fiction writing, to understand how self-expression manifests itself in these genres and how these genres illuminate insights about the interplay of self and society. Through creative remixing of multimodal elements and multiple genres(e.g, poetry, memoir, podcast, infographic, digital storytelling), we seek to understand how our personal identities and experiences are intricately and inextricably linked to the larger cultural, political, economic, historical, and social structures within which we live. This course will help students develop critical thinking, close reading, persuasive writing, academic research, and digital literacy skills while tapping into their creativity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-684086be90b8c-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?

This FYS invites you to \u201cunpack\u201d numerous layers of meaning embedded within Collins\u2019 original dystopian series (fall semester) and her recent prequels (spring semester). Students with any level of (in)experience are welcome, though some level of passion for exploring this world is a must. We will first examine this allegorical saga as a cultural and literary phenomenon before moving into connections with our own world. We will take our own academic tour of sorts, sampling a variety of perspectives including psychology, history, philosophy, English, gender studies, political science, communication, music history (the Covey!), and health science, among others. You will have the opportunity to explore any of these disciplinary connections within your own creative projects. This will all wrap around your professor\u2019s focus on the human and urban geography of Panem, and especially the central Appalachian home of an unlikely heroine, Katniss Everdeen.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-6840872bcfdf8-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?

Through contemporary literary texts, the course will explore women\u2019s perspectives on current issues influencing women\u2019s sense of self, relationships, worldviews, opportunities, and challenges; we\u2019ll consider the ways that sexual politics intersect with the politics of race, class, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, and other markers of difference. By examining literary texts and other cultural materials, we\u2019ll consider possibilities for understanding and changing the cultural, political, and social systems that define women in the world.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-6841a299e6bae-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?
