CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
The study of nineteenth century North American, British, and/or Post-colonial literatures. May include some writing from North America. Breadth-Humanities.

The nineteenth-century saw great movements of people across the world. Through the themes of slavery, travel, and migration, we will read literature from the long nineteenth century that reflects on experiences of moving through cultures, languages, and exiles. Our focus will be literature written in English, but will not be anchored in one national literature (eg. British, American, Australian).

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
