Class Description: Exploration of literary themes and social conditions in fiction and poetry of Filipino American writers from the 1940s to current times. Literatures expressing politics of oppression by way of race, social class, gender, sexuality, or combination thereof are explored. Topics include immigration, alienation, generational conflicts, and other issues generated from rich and diverse literary tradition. Formalistic analysis and other literary approaches are interwoven into discussions.
The English department will allow the class to count as an English elective from 100 to 199 for the English major or minor, or as an Interdisciplinary Approaches to Literature class for the major in American Literature & Culture (or as an American Culture class in Asian American Studies for the major in American Literature & Culture).
Students deciding to take advantage of this opportunity will need to bring us a printed copy of their Degree Progress Report upon completion of the class, and either Mike or Janel (English Dept. undergraduate advisor) will process an on-line course substitution to apply the class towards the appropriate major/minor requirement for your degree.
Yeah, relevant education!
