ENGL 10600 is the standard 4-credit hour composition course for students at Purdue. Students in the course produce between 7,500-11,500 words of polished writing (or 15,000-22,000 total words, including drafts) or the equivalent. Some of this text production will be done using multimedia, and some of it may be composed in short assignments. Writing topics will be closely tied to the course’s theme or approach, and may include personal experiences as well as research-based arguments. Students may also be asked to write on topics that are related to their major fields of study.

ENGL 10600 often includes different types of research directed toward a final project reflecting the expertise students have gained over the semester. Students often explore multiple topics and rhetorical contexts, and produce and analyze digital media environments. So instructors may use planning assignments in order to help students discover and explore a topic, angle, or audience. Students will also spend time reading and discussing writing of their own, their peers, and professionals. Instructors may accomplish this through in-class review sessions or in weekly or bi-weekly conferences. Additionally, instructors may select outside readings related to the theme of the class or readings that are similar in purpose to the writing they expect students to do.

ENGL 21500 Lec 1, 24708-001, TTh 1:30p-2:45p, HEAV 206, Francis, Elaine

Invented languages are language systems that are intentionally created for a specific purpose. Familiar examples include languages invented for fictional worlds, such as Dothraki (Game of Thrones], Na'vi (Avatar), Elvish (Lord of the Rings) and Klingon (Star Trek), as well as languages invented for international communication by real speakers, such as Esperanto and Interlingua.

ENGL 23000 Great Narrative Works

ENGL 23000 Lec 1, 23966-001, MWF 11:30a-12:20p, HEAV 206, Flory, Wendy

The highly dramatic nature of these narratives gives them a strong appeal. Several involve characters on difficult journeys, in high-risk situations, who must often interact in extreme ways with supernatural powers. The Odyssey and The Monkey King derive from myth and legend and, as they are epic in scope, we will focus on their “greatest” parts. In Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and Morrison’s Beloved, the realistic and the supernatural also coexist in striking ways. Huckleberry Finn, the families in Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, and Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” are, like Odysseus and Monkey, making dramatically problematic journeys, and in this class we will journey with these stories and more while learning why we continue to return to them.

ENGL 26400/REL 26400 The Bible As Literature

ENGL 26400 Dist 1, 15976-001, Duran, Angelica

The Bible contains some of the weirdest and most wonderful literature you will ever read; there is certainly no book that has had a greater influence on English-language literature. Our attention to literary matters of allusion, characters and their motivations, ethical meaning, genre, inspiration, plot, structure, theme, and contemporary relevance will enable us to agree or disagree — or at least lay the groundwork for doing so — with biblical and literary critic and reader Northrup Frye that the Bible is “the great code of Western Literature.”

ENGL 35100 American Literature After 1865

ENGL 35100 Lec 1, 23996-001, MWF 2:30p-3:20p, WALC 3084, Duvall, John

The post-Civil War period sees a significant increase in the number of professional authors, largely enabled by the rise of magazine culture. Realist writers seek to represent, as magazine editor and novelist William Dean Howells puts it, “the truth of human experience.” The ethical project of Realism is challenged, however, by Naturalist writers, who believe that individuals are always products of their heredity and environment. in this class we'll explore how the impacts of the industrial revolution lead to alienated labor, the devestation of World War I and its impact on the American psych, and how the psychic determinism of Freudian psychoanalysis map the alienation of the modern individual.  This course charts shifts in the American literature over the last century and a half, from the hopefulness of Realism through modernist explorations of alienation to postmodern depictions of paranoia in the American experience.

ENGL 35200 Native American Literature

ENGL 35200 Lec 1, 25351-001, TTh 10:30a-11:45a, WALC 3084, Peterson, Nancy

How can we learn to be better human beings and live in more sustainable ways? This is one of the overarching questions addressed in Native American literature. Our readings will come from a variety of genres (novels, poems, stories, essays) and reflect a diverse array of Native authors from distinct tribal and cultural backgrounds. So whether we read a novel by Leslie Marmon Silko (Laguna Pueblo) or by Stephen Graham Jones (Blackfeet), or a poem by Layli Long Soldier (Oglala Lakota) or by Craig Santos Perez (Indigenous Chamorro), we will be reading deeply, using the skills of literary analysis, but also absorbing specific historical, legal, and ethnographic contexts.

This course is for students who want to dig into the polarized points of view that color nearly all public conversation today. Students will think about how rhetoric shapes issues that affect life in the US.

Our focus will be on how debates over issues carry with them histories, structures, and consequences for the place of public and private in the U.S. From “religious freedom” to “discrimination” and “voting rights” to “reproductive rights,” we explore how activists take up competing notions of national and collective identity to influence public policy and the law as well as in individual or private lives.

ENGL 43900B Literature In The Age Of Eugenics

ENGL 43900B Lec 1, 16070-001, TTh 1:30p-2:45p, WALC 3148, Linett, Maren

 In this course students will read historical material about the eugenics programs in the United States and Britain and study literature that engages with disability and eugenics. Modernist literature was shaped by the desire, as Ezra Pound put it, to “make it new.” But to what extent did people in the modernist period also want to make human beings new? How did the desire to break with the past apply not only to our technologies, our societies, and our art, but also to ourselves? Eugenics was the beginning of the effort—which continues today with genetic engineering, the “new liberal eugenics,” and transhumanism—to improve the human species. We will explore ideas about this effort as we consider the ways race, class, gender, and disability intersected in the first half of the twentieth century to create an atmosphere of surveillance and judgment about (in Hannah Arendt's terms) who should and should not inhabit the world.

ENGL 620 is open to international graduate students who have received a score of 40 or 45 on the Oral English Proficiency Test and have been identified by their departments as potential teaching assistants. Departments determine which students will receive priority for the course, especially in the fall semester when demand for ENGL 620 is very high. Students who are currently funded with research assistantships or fellowships are also welcome to enroll in the course. However, we ask departments to wait until the spring or summer semester to enroll these students so that students needing to be certified by the class in order to be eligible for teaching assistantships may take the course in the fall.

ENGL 620 carries 5 credit hours. These credits do not apply toward a student's plan of study; however, they do count toward the minimum credit hours that international graduate students are required to take each semester.

ENGL 62700C/LING 52200 Syntax II

ENGL 62700C Lec 1, 16739-001, TTh 9:00a-10:15a, WALC 3084, Francis, Elaine

In this course, students will develop skills in formal syntactic analysis using examples from diverse languages. In the first half of the course, we will work through several chapters of a generative syntax textbook at an accelerated pace so that students are exposed to a wide range of syntactic phenomena as understood within a single theoretical framework (a version of Minimalism). In the second half of the course, we will read and discuss original research articles on a few selected topics, to be determined with input from students in the class. Different languages, different populations of language users, different sources of linguistic data, and different theoretical frameworks will be considered. Assessments will consist of class participation (with reading and, in some cases, ungraded homework to prepare in advance), article presentations, and a final paper.  

Prerequisites: 

There are no official prerequisites. Syntax I (LING 52100 / ENGL 512000) is recommended but not required. Basic familiarity with grammar terms (for example, preposition, noun, direct object, past tense) is assumed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, Elaine Francis (ejfranci@purdue.edu).
