Ne öğreneceğim?
The Literature and Culture concentration trains a select group of MA students to understand, discuss, and produce contemporary scholarship related to the fields of English, American, and World Anglophone Literatures. Our program’s advanced courses and seminars cover a diversity of subjects ranging from traditional studies of literary periods (Medieval, Early Modern, Romantic, Victorian, etc.) to interdisciplinary courses on visual and material culture, minoritarian aesthetics, the digital humanities, literature and religion, and posthumanist discourses. The MA faculty of School of Writing, Literature, and Film publish articles and scholarly monographs in top venues for literary, cultural, visual, and ethnic studies, and thus provide immediate access to 21st century debates within their fields. The program also offers opportunities for rigorous scholarly debate beyond the classroom through thesis mentoring, the Critical Questions Lecture Series, the Center for the Humanities, funded conference travel, and the annual MA Symposium. Finally, we encourage our students to interact with other graduate programs within and beyond the School of Writing, Literature, and Film, including Rhetoric and Writing, Creative Writing, Environmental Arts and Humanities, Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Ethnic Studies, and the Center for Latino/a Studies and Engagement. As these relationships suggest, we consider diversity in all its forms to be an essential component of our competitive program.
