Course Catalog Description
Reading and composition in connection with the representation of Scandinavia by outsiders and insiders. Satisfies the second half of the Reading and Composition requirement.
Class Description
This course will consider what queerness, Nordicness, and literature mean in conjunction with one another through engagement with works by authors such as Niviaq Korneliussen, Moa Backe Åstot, and Camara Lundestad Joof. Course content will center the intersection of queerness with Indigeneity, gender, and race, and will introduce students to queer theoretical approaches to the study of literature. Students will learn to engage critically with a wide variety of primary and secondary texts and to draw on these sources to craft sophisticated written arguments. In-class discussion and peer review will help students test out new approaches to reading and composition and to develop their analytical capabilities cooperatively.
