Students continue to develop close critical reading comprehension through an exploration of women's writing from a variety of time periods, diverse sociocultural backgrounds, and genres. Students critically and creatively interpret and evaluate the work of women writers, applying concepts of body theory and feminist perspectives on social roles, as well as literary terminology, techniques, and rhetorical strategies. They also consider the complexities and multiplicities of female ways of knowing and being in the world, including such elements of difference as social class, ethnicity/culture, gender identity and sexual expression and how they affect our understanding of social and corporeal experiences and possibilities. Students investigate a topic, using scholarly writing that illustrates grammatically-correct style and appropriate documentation skills. Prerequisite: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent or permission of instructor or department Chair.
