21st Century American Literature

(6 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course was focused on American literature in the 21st century, specifically to do with the place of Afropessimism in the academy. Situating itself in the lineage of queer and black studies, the course, through a series of readings and short papers, culminated in a 20 page original argument using disappointment as a critical lens to understand the theory of Afropessimism.
