Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Addresses issues in Romantic literature in English. May include texts in a variety of genres and be organized according to various critical approaches.
COURSE DETAILS:
Even though many women have more legal and human rights than than those living in Britain two centuries ago, the writing of women in that period has never been more relevant. This course explores the diverse literature written by women about women’s condition throughout the Atlantic world, to consider their examination of issues of sexual violence, racial oppression, gender inequality (in education, the workplace and marriage), as well as questions of gender and sexual identity, allyship and intersectionality. We will read fiction, essays, poetry, history, and memoirs by nine female writers (Lucy Aikin, Jane Austen, Anna Barbauld, Felicia Hemans, Mary Prince, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Charlotte Smith, Phillis Wheatley and Mary Wollstonecraft) who directly addressed the question of women’s position in society and the repercussions of inequality. To understand the connections between past and present, this course will juxtapose our historical readings with critical writing, poetry and short stories of contemporary women, including bell hooks, Judith Butler, Roxanne Gay, Patricia Lockwood, Kate Manne, Kristen Roupenian, and others.

Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/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
TEACHING AT SFU IN SUMMER 2021
Teaching at SFU in summer 2021 will be conducted primarily through remote methods, but we will continue to have in-person experiential activities for a selection of courses. Such course components will be clearly identified at registration, as will course components that will be “live” (synchronous) vs. at your own pace (asynchronous). Enrollment acknowledges that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes. To ensure you can access all course materials, we recommend you have access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and the internet. In some cases your instructor may use Zoom or other means requiring a camera and microphone to invigilate exams. If proctoring software will be used, this will be confirmed in the first week of class.
Students with hidden or visible disabilities who believe they may need class or exam accommodations, including in the current context of remote learning, are encouraged to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112).
