Taking place over a full year, this seminar will give students enrolled in the Major and Specialization programs the opportunity to reflect on the impact of literature on certain issues. During the fall term, students will work on creating a corpus of works that will enable them to reflect on a given issue, and to begin commenting on them through workshops (1 text in fall; 5 texts in winter). This work will intensify in the winter term: in addition to workshops, students will be responsible for organizing a student conference at which they will present the fruits of their work over the course of the year. This will also serve as an assessment of the potential contribution of the selected texts to the debate on the year's given issue.
