**Please include course(s) you are available to teach in a cover letter**

ENGL2304 American Voices I

This course examines the development of American literature from its origins to the Civil War. Students will consider the aesthetic characteristics of non-fiction, fiction, and poetry as they engage with political and religious movements, including settler colonialism, Puritanism, abolitionism, and transcendentalism. Students consider each text within its historical, national, and transnational context in order to understand how it simultaneously responds and contributes to the conditions that have given rise to it. With the diversity of American literature and U.S. identities serving as the key theme of the course, students will consider a wide array of American voices as well as competing accounts of national origin stories, from Christopher Columbus's Letter's of Discovery and the Pilgrim's "Mayflower Compact" to Frederick Douglass's account of his journey from slavery to freedom, as well as the more recent literary reflections on Jamestown in the 1619 project.

Instructors will have discretion to adjust focus area(s) based on their area of expertise.

Face-to-face synchronous course meets Monday & Wednesday 4:15-5:30pm.



ENGL-2303 Dream/Diversity: American Novel

Focusing on a diverse group of American authors, this course will introduce students to a range of literary responses to the dramatic historical events and lived experiences of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The diversity of American identities, along with divergent experiences with the promise of an American dream, serves as a central thread connecting the assigned novels in the course. Recent semesters have included novels by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nella Larsen, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Ruth Ozeki, Sandra Cisneros, and Junot Diaz, among others. Students will study the aesthetic originality of each novel, while also examining the significance of each work in relation to its historical context.

Instructors will have discretion to adjust focus area(s) based on their area of expertise.

Face-to-face synchronous course meets Monday & Wednesday 6:00-7:15pm.



Candidates should possess a minimum of a Master's degree in a related field and preferably have experience teaching at the undergraduate level, especially in the context of a diverse student community.
