Meets with LLS 496, CRN 52337, section DC (undergrads only course). This course is a writing workshop focused on the craft of writing creatively about our own lives. We will discuss the art and creative processes of writing non-fiction. In this class we will also examine the relationship between form and content, stories and social issues. In addition to sharing our own creative pieces, we will also read and discuss memoirs, essays, and stories by published writers of color. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
47824	Lecture-Discussion	FN	3:00PM -5:50PM	T	241 Armory	Ngo, F	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Transnational Sexualities Section Info: Meets with GWS 490, sections FN (CRN 47820), FNU (CRN 47844), and LLS 496, sections FNG (CRN 52017), FN (CRN 52016). How are sexualities viewed differently as people and ideas cross national borders? How can our understandings of nations and races affect the way that sexuality is seen at home and abroad? How can the rhetoric of sexuality be used to justify and make sense of war? This course is designed to investigate the ways in which sexual identities change as national contexts change, as borders are crossed, and as definitions of race and gender shift. The course interrogates how national identities, modernities, and colonial narratives are built on ideas of racialized sexualities, and, as such, is particularly interested in the study of the queer diaspora. Areas of inquiry will include imperialism, immigration, war, tourism and globalization. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
