ENGL 268 - Outbreak! On Reading Narratives of Infectious Disease 3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail Course can be counted for credit once
Description: English 268 is designed to draw students from across all majors to the humanities by focusing on an issue that impacts everyone: infectious diseases, and the stories that are told about them. The material in the course comes from many sources: archival documents, the science of epidemiology, accounts in creative non-fiction, and works of imaginative literature. The class will visit historical sites and perform their own archival research in the Massachusetts state archives. This is a hands-on, interactive course designed with the support of the Mellon foundation.
