Instructor:
This course will examine how various writers and performers depict what makes them different. As we’ll learn, depicting our differences involves careful decisions about what to include or exclude, and how to engage our audience. Are we as different as we think we are? How do we respond to differences in others? In what ways do our identities rely on similarity as well as difference? These are some of the questions we’ll explore while reading, viewing, and composing depictions of difference.
