Creating, Maintaining, and Challenging Borders
- Spring 2015
Syllabus Description:
This course focuses on the uses of the English language in creating, maintaining, and challenging borders found in a wide-range of contexts from popular media to language-learning classrooms. By introducing students to the theoretical concepts and methodological tools necessary when discussing borders, we will work together not only to understand how borders are articulated in our increasingly multicultural and globalized world, but also to develop unique ways to challenge and/or cross those very borders that may limit and/or hinder us.
