Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
“Boston Dreams, Boston Nightmares: Genre, Race, Ethnicity” explores how Boston authors and authors writing on Boston imagine Boston within utopian and dystopian terms. Since Boston is a hub for knowledge production in the U.S., considering how these authors negotiate Boston’s role in producing scientific knowledge in particular forms the foundation for this course. In this way, “Boston Dreams, Boston Nightmares: Genre, Race, Ethnicity” examines the multiple and intersection histories and genres that make up Boston and situates these histories and genres within dominant discourses. This is a hands-on, interactive course designed with the support of the Mellon Foundation.
