New Courses

In FCCS, we are continually updating and adding to the courses that we offer in all subject areas.

CORH 204: Communications in the Humanities

Understanding different expectations across academic domains can help writers successfully participate in a range of conversations.

In CORH 204 students explore writing that is pertinent to studies in Humanities – approaching topics from a wide range of viewpoints, employing different research methods and rhetorical strategies to develop convincing arguments for their audience.

Winter 2022 Term 1
Instructor: Anita Chaudhuri
CORH 206: Communicating Indigeneity

Conversations, and questions that ask what it means to be Indigenous, have been birthed from the relations that constitute Canada, and other national imaginaries, and prompt us to interrogate our identities and the communities we navigate.

This course will be an introduction to historical and contemporary conversations about Indigeneity in popular, academic and Indigenous communities

Winter 2022 Term 1
Instructor: Kerrie Charnley
CORH 331: Social Writing: Studies in Multimodal Communication

The course takes a practice-based approach to social writing that connects individual thought, expression, and action to digital platforms. Such public forums of interaction can inform, persuade, and challenge individual preferences, which indicate the complexity of interaction between semiotic systems. Students will study and create their own multimodal texts to critically engage with composition and communication strategies in social writing.

Winter 2022 Term 1
Instructor: Anita Chaudhuri
ENG 345B: Afropolitan Literature and its Global Reach

The notion of Afropolitanism is a philosophical and aesthetic concept that amplifies Africa’s influence and positioning in the (post)modern world. For a long time in the European universe of reason, Africa was (mis)construed as the heart of darkness.

In this course, Students will learn, in the works of Afropolitan writers, how methodological nationalism is transcended in order to present a hybrid world with multidirectional flows of memories and networks of sensibilities.

Winter 2022 Term 1
Instructor: Sakiru Adebayo
CORH 216: Communication and Media: LEGO® Building Systems

Invented by Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, the Danish building system LEGO (coined from the Danish phrase, leg godt or “play well”) has become not just a global brand but a cultural phenomenon. In this course, we will examine LEGO as a material medium of communication and rhetoric that has moved into other popular culture media—audio, visual, textual, and digital.

Winter 2022 Term 2
Instructor: Marie Loughlin
English 355: The Neo-Victorian Novel

Victorian novels, but shorter! Victorian novelists, like Charles Dickens, the Brontë sisters, or Wilkie Collins, told wonderful and vast stories, with curious, often mysterious characters, detailed and sometimes seedy settings, and with multiple subplots that, ideally at least, converged. Neo-Victorian novels seek to recapture some of that same narrative drive, complex plotting, and the pleasures afforded by this kind of story-telling. At the same time, they often resolve in very contemporary ways by elliptically commenting on our contemporary moment, or by addressing significant elisions in the historical record.

Winter 2022 Term 2
Instructor: Jennifer Gustar
ENGL 434: Writing Black Lives in the 18^th century

This course considers how eighteenth-century authors represented personhood and life stories in poetry, fiction, and letters. How were ideas of personhood shaped by the slave trade between Europe, West Africa, and the North American colonies? How were Black authors able to navigate dominant culture and its narratives to tell their stories of enslavement and manumission? How did understandings of gender intersect with those of race in the works of both white and Black writers? What can we learn about our present understandings of Anglo-American selfhood from this historical moment?

Winter 2022 Term 2
Instructor: Alison Conway
ENG 497: Studies in Black Intellectual Traditions

One of the paradoxes of the Enlightenment is that it associated the notions of ‘modernity’ and ‘progress’ only to Europeans. Its erasure of non-European subjectivities, for example, produced a false logic that assumed that “Blacks have no traditions, (and) are bearers of inferior culture”. On the contrary, Blacks have (and have always had) advanced systems of thoughts and rich intellectual traditions. This course takes a transdisciplinary and transcontinental approach in examining the heterogenous histories, cultures, literatures and epistemologies of the people of African descent.

Winter 2022 Term 2
Instructor: Sakiru Adebayo
CULT 400N: Drag and Popular Culture

This course examines the history of drag’s relationship to popular culture. Central questions will include: What is the relationship between drag in the age of Drag Race and earlier examples of drag visibility like The films of John Waters and Divine, Paris is Burning (1990), and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)? How has drag evolved as a queer art form and how are different aspects of drag like pageants, ballroom, punk drag, and kinging represented in the contemporary landscape? How has drag influenced and reflected phenomena such as: queer politics, queer theory, the creation if LGBTQ2+ communities, and mainstream representation of queer identities?

Winter 2022 Term 2
Instructor: Cameron Crookston
ENGL 395: Popular Literature: Science Fiction

Science fiction literature explores the wealth and the challenges of the human experience by asking the important and speculative question, “What might be?” Sci-fi looks forward to the fantastic, the astonishing, the bizarre, the compelling, and the frightening in a way that has shaped the contemporary world profoundly. In this course we will discuss and consider many of the themes and concepts that these far-reaching stories present to the reader, such as time travel, technology, space travel, new worlds, alien encounter, robots, transhumanism, the metaphysical, and more.

Winter 2022 Term 2
