LIT 130 Literature and Social Justice: (subtitle)
In this foundation-level course, students will engage with a diverse selection of literature focused on a particular issue or debate related to social justice. Students will be asked to consider the possibilities and limits of literature as a vehicle to engage with social issues and develop the skills, contextual knowledge, and critical thought to do so meaningfully. Different iterations of the course might focus on such issues as discrimination against marginalized groups, environmental justice, refugees and immigration, economic and educational inequality, or the prison industrial system. Some coursework may take the form of service learning or community outreach.
