Residential School Literature

3 credits

Contemporary Indigenous writers create works of literature that function as both agents of social change and of healing; sharing stories of the residential school experience and celebrating their peoples’ ability to triumph over oppression and hardship. Students will study film, plays, and novels written by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people; and read critical works focusing on residential school literature and the truth and reconciliation process. **Permission of the Program Coordinator is required to register.** *Note: Students may receive credit for one of INDG 496AI or ENGL 310AC.*
