603-102-MQ - Literary Genres (60 hours)
(June 8th to June 29th, 2026, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.)
Sport and Literature: Throughout this course, we will study literature as a way of exploring the varied connections between sport and human nature. Readings for the course will consist of novels, poems, and stories (fictional or not) that present central themes surrounding athletic competition. We will discuss sport as a metaphor for life and cover topics including the following: obsessive fandom, tribalism, the heroic glory of achievement, and the fear of failure. We will examine the ways in which sport highlights the best and the worst of human behavior.
603-103-MQ - Literary Themes (60 hours)
(July 6th to July 29th, 2026, Monday to Thursday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.)
The Literary Animal: The presence of non-human creatures in our daily lives has always challenged our most-cherished notions of human uniqueness and complicated our attitudes towards the world we share with these creatures. This course studies some of the ways in which writers have tried to address the contradictions implicit in a human worldview that sets speciesist prejudice against empirical evidence.
603-CXH-HR - Communication and Literature (60 hours)
(July 6th to July 29th, 2026, Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.)
This final English course considers how we might best communicate about literature. The course takes multiple genres of literature as its content and explores different ways of reading and, more important, different modes of expressing those readings, for instance, through presentations, video projects, creative projects, and essays. Though the course focuses on best practices in communication, it is firmly grounded in literature.
