Americans in Paris
59352 Evans, Stephen F.
( 3 / Honors / U )
MWF 09:00 -09:50 AM WES 1017
For many, Ernest Hemingway automatically comes to mind when one thinks of “Americans in Paris.” But as Adam Gopnik’s recent anthology
amply demonstrates, Americans have been drawn to the lights of Paris, arguably the international capitol of the world, since the earliest days of
the Republic—and they came as statesmen, soldiers, students, tourists, and for any number of other reasons. Indeed, because of the various
“freedoms” she afforded Americans, in addition to her world eminence in terms of intellectual, educational, political, and cultural opportunities,
Paris—at least until relatively recently—has played a central role in the ever-developing American experience. During our sojourn in Paris we will
encounter the city through the writings of authors as diverse as Thomas Paine, Mark Twain, Edith Wharton, Langston Hughes, Jack Kerouac—
and Hemingway, of course. Our literary experience of Paris will be enhanced with the film Paris: The Luminous Years—Toward the Making of the
Modern, the expertise of a couple of guest speakers, and field trips to the Kenneth Spencer Research Library and Spencer Museum of Art.
Throughout the course students will continue to develop their skills in reading, interpretation, use of evidentiary reasoning, critical thinking,
research, and the writing of effective academic prose as we study intellectual issues and problems posed by the various texts. These skills are
transferable to virtually any other academic setting; that is, they are not specific to this course in particular or the study of literature in general,
but should be understood as essential to all successful learning endeavors. In other words, this course involves students in what is called
engaged learning.

world? How does literature show our different ways of seeing? We will consider different perceptions of art, nature, gender, and culture; we
will investigate various cultural and personal perspectives; and we will address the notion of vision as a metaphor in literature. There will be
four papers, a final exam, a project, and assorted short assignments throughout the semester.
Texts: Lakoff and Johnson, Metaphors We Live By; Donne, Selected Poetry; Dickinson, The Collected Poems; Edson, Wit; Joyce, A Portrait of the
Artist as a Young Man; Woolf, To The Lighthouse; Whitehead, The Intuitionist; Garcia, The Aguero Sisters; Silko, Storyteller, selected essays and

Telling Stories
( 3 / Honors / H )
Dorice, Elliott TR 01:00 -02:15 PM WES 4044
When we encounter a novel, short story, or film, the first thing we usually want to know is what the story about? What happens? An equally
important question, however, is Awho tells the story?@ In some modern experimental fiction, who tells the story may even be the story. In this
course we will read several nineteenth- and twentieth-century British and American novels and short stories whose authors experimented with
new narrative strategies, including first-person narratives, Chinese box narratives, and unreliable narrators. By focusing directly on the
conventions and narrative techniques of prose fiction, we will try to discover how we as readers make sense of what we read when we read
fiction. We will also pay particular attention to the way the texts interact with the cultures from which they arose, including issues of gender,
race, and class.
Students will be required to write two critical papers and one creative paper, as well as in-class writing, a midterm, and a final exam. Texts will
include: Charlotte Perkins Gilman, “The Yellow Wallpaper”; James Hogg, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner; Wilkie
Collins, The Moonstone; Henry James, The Turn of the Screw; Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness; Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior;
and John Barth, Lost in the Funhouse.

In this class, we will analyze intensively the major fiction of two of America’s greatest writers: William Faulkner (1897-1962), a modernist, and
Toni Morrison (1931--), a post-modernist. While Morrison has frequently expressed her indebtedness to Faulkner, our project will not be to see
how Faulkner influenced Morrison. Instead, we shall read intertextually the two American Nobel Laureates, who are separated by a generation
as well as by differences of race and gender. Our study of the two authors' fiction will focus on such topics as race, class, gender, sexuality, and
Southern history and culture. The course will be discussion-based, and it will heavily emphasize writing. Course requirements will include two
papers (approximately 7 typewritten pages each); response papers, quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam. Class participation also is a

with historical context and social mores? What is it about villains that readers (and viewers) love to hate? Does a particular author encourage
sympathy for his or her villain? Respect? Or just contempt? In addition to the longer texts below, we’ll read short stories and poems that
showcase miscreant misbehavior. Students can expect an emphasis on writing instruction: each student will write three analytical papers as well
as a final project; regular reading quizzes and/or small writing assignments will be given throughout the semester.

Environmentalism and Literature
Caminero-Santangelo, Byron James

TR 09:30 -10:45 AM WES 4021
This course will explore the long and close relationship between literature and environmentalism. Since the Industrial Revolution, authors as
diverse as the British romantic poets William Wordsworth and John Clare, 19th-Century American environmentalist pioneers Henry D. Thoreau
and John Muir, scientist-nature writers Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, and writer-activists like the Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai have used
literary forms of writing to raise consciousness about the dangers of economic development pursued without consideration of its ecological
impact. Over the course of the semester, you will be introduced to these major figures in environmental thought, the underlying notions of
nature they embrace, and the literary genres and forms they draw on in their writing. We will also use popular culture (for example, the film Into
the Wild) and a novel, T.C. Boyle’s When the Killing’s Done, to explore widespread assumptions regarding nature and conservation. Finally,
Ramachandra Guha’s historical overview, Environmentalism, will help you develop an understanding of key concepts and debates in
environmentalism and environmental thought. The requirements for the class will include weekly reading quizzes and three papers.

Looking at texts—any text—through genre gives us a new lens for understanding writing, whether literary or everyday, our own or that of
others. Genres are not just formulaic or literary and not just romances or westerns, Petrarchan sonnets or magical realism. Genres are also
blogs, environmental impact statements, legal briefs, children’s picture books, zines, and hybrids that authors invent. In our course, we will
discover how genres are created and revised by writers’ purposes, audiences, and larger contexts. We will analyze particular genres and see how
and why they work—or don’t work—in the world. And you will follow your particular interests to choose your own genres to analyze,
understand, write about and in, and play with. Students will write short pieces and share with the class as well as write a longer, research-based
paper. This course embraces students from all interests and backgrounds within English studies, whether literary, rhetorical, linguistic, or
creative. Whatever your textual interests, you will look at them in new and revealing ways.

Documentary Poetry
( 3 / Honors / H )
64342 Topic: Documentary Poetry Harrington, Joseph
TR 11:00 -12:15 PM WES 3001A
“Documentary poetry”?? “Documentary” connotes dry – or maybe didactic; something dated and best left to newspapers, history books,
pamphlets, film. “Poetry” is the expression of personal emotion; language raised to a sublime and exquisite delicacy; mellifluous statements of
universal truths. . . . Right?
Well . . . some poets did not receive the memo, because they insist on writing poems that relate non-fiction narratives – and that often quote
things like newspapers and pamphlets in the process. It is a poetry that represents historical “facts” (personal or collective). Sometimes it
stretches the boundaries of poetry and questions the meaning of document(ary), emphasizing documents as texts and poems as historical
documents.
What does it mean to relate history in a poem? And when one does so, how does it change? And what are the limits of a poetics of fact? We will
approach these questions by reading and writing about “docu-poems” by Muriel Rukeyser, William Carlos Williams, Khaled Mattawa, Bhanu
Kapil, and others. You will also research, write, and reflect upon your own “documentary poem” – always with an awareness of your presence as
author of the history you are writing.

Citizen Philanthropy
69417 Stroup, Kala Mays
( 3 / Honors / U )
T 02:45 -04:00 PM NUN 218
Service learning and civic leadership need to be grounded in knowledge about nonprofit and philanthropic organizations. This diverse, dynamic,
and vital social sector has over 13 million paid professionals, $1.6 trillion in annual revenue and $4 trillion in assets with over 65 million
volunteers who go to Darfur, work in food banks, deliver health services, protect our environment, uphold laws, defend basic human rights,
work with youth, families and children and enrich our communities. Citizen generosity is a shared value and an investment in the health of our
democracy and our future.
This senior level honors course will explore the historic and economic roots of citizen generosity and the role the nonprofit/philanthropic sector
has played in the development of this country. This capstone course is an interdisciplinary exploration of the social context and structure of
nonprofit organizations. This class will assist college students in transitioning to a lifetime of meaningful civic engagement as volunteer and
community leaders. Basic research skills utilizing original materials and web sites, advanced communication strategies in interviewing and
presentations, competencies needed for effective volunteer leadership, integration of disciplines, and knowledge about the nonprofit and
philanthropic sector will be the learning outcomes. This course could be preparation for meaningful consideration of working professionally in
nonprofit/philanthropic organizations or engaging in community service internships. There is no textbook, students will utilize multiple sources
of data and information. This course meets the requirements of a service-learning component for KU certification.
Kala M. Stroup, a national leader in the nonprofit sector and former University President, will teach this course. Kala M. Stroup was a KU
Watkins Scholar and participated in the early days of the KU Honors program as student, faculty and staff adviser. She has served as a faculty
member at four universities and has served as a consultant at numerous universities in designing courses and academic programs around this
subject/professional area.

The Bloomsbury group, with their emphasis on rationalism, integrity and originality, continues to fascinate. Their visual work is admired and
their lifestyles attract biographers. But it is in their writings that their greatest achievements can be found. The focus of the course will be
Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West: from war and peace to preserving the land, from love and relationships to art and design and the place
of women in society. The class will explore the never-dull world of the Bloomsbury group and conclude---in Bloomsbury style---with a
conversation over dinner. The class will read three novels (All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville West, and Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia
Woolf), four essays and one poem.

Commons course will focus on introducing students to the Digital Humanities. Indeed, just as literacy of the written word involves more than
reading and writing, digital literacy involves far more than knowing how to use a cellphone or how to find information on Google. Students must
learn to scrutinize media messages; to strain reliable information from search engines, databases, and websites; and to choose the right digital
tools to find useful and relevant answers. They must also understand the culture of digital environments: why they were created, how they are
used, how they are abused. Just as important, students must know how to create material for this digital environment. We propose an
interdisciplinary approach to incorporating digital tools into assignments, presentations, and learning. Technology offers no solutions on its own,
but we see it as a mostly untapped resource to better engage students and to provide new tools for research, expression, and understanding.
