Rationale for Perspectives on a Diverse World - This course is an introduction to world literature designed to appeal to the students interested in reading contemporary novels, plays, and poetry in the context of current events in culture and politics of different communities across the globe. The course meets the requirements for a course in the Global Awareness category of the General Education program because course readings focus on exposing students to multiple genres of writing, locating particular texts within the cultural contexts that speak to important topics that shape us as citizens of a global community. In considering thematic or structural similarities between texts from different regions of the globe, students will come to see how literature both reflects and inspires changes in imaginative, political, social, and/or cultural practices.
