Seminar in Literature
CAS EN 220
Undergraduate Prerequisites: First Year Writing Seminar (e.g., EN 120 or WR 100 or WR 120). - Topic for summer 2025: English and American Literature on Film. Why do we adapt books into movies' How does the experience of a story we first encounter as a text change when we see it on screen' Are filmmakers obligated to be "faithful" to their sources, or do they have artistic license to innovate' Is literature an inherently "higher" form of art than movies' In this course, we consider these and other questions about cinematic adaptation in order to develop our skills as critical readers of texts and movies, and as proficient researchers and writers. We examine film adaptations of work by English-language authors such as Shakespeare, Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and August Wilson. Our goal is to produce well-researched, clear, and persuasive analyses of how film adaptation can enhance or sometimes challenge our understanding of literary masterpieces.

Writing, Research, & Inquiry with Oral and/or Signed Expression
CAS WR 151
Topic: I Want to Believe: UFOs. Half of all Americans believe in UFOs, and 15% of Americans believe that Bigfoot is real. Nearly every recorded culture and established mythology has some version of anomalies in the sky and hairy man-beasts in the woods. In America, belief in UFOs and Bigfoot often assumes a religious vigor, an obsession. What are the ancient urges that underpin such fantastical belief? What purposes do these beliefs serve in the lives of devotees? We closely study the mythologies and research, and write about why so many are inclined to believe in what many scientists claim is either unlikely or impossible. 4 cr. Tuition: $3260
