Registration begins tomorrow, kiddies! Set your alarms for 6:55 a.m. and be logged in to UIS to start adding those numbers at 7:00 a.m. on the dot. Don't forget to email, call, or stop into the Department Office to ask Lana or Gina for your priority registration numbers today.
Check out Part One of selected course descriptions for a detailed look into the classes being offered this fall. Of course you can view the full list of descriptions, including registration numbers, here.
Dr. Carmen Kynard is offering a brand new course this fall on African American Literacies and Education in the 20th and 21st Centuries. The course number is ENG 185, and the registration number is 76097. This class assumes a basic knowledge of some education history, especially Brown v. Board of Education, as well as Plessy v. Ferguson. We will be thinking about literacies as a subfield in Comp/Rhet. This class aims for the students to acquire both a breadth and depth into literature, research, and criticism. We will be working with critical socio-linguistics, that is with student works, college student texts, and pop culture texts. The expectation is that you will be joining the research community, so the class will be culminating in a research project.
Introduction to the Profession will be taught this fall by Dr. Granville Ganter. The course number is ENG 110, and the registration number is 76108. This class is a requirement for all D.A. students. Dr. Ganter's focus in this course will be the history of English programs, specifically the 19th and 20th Century development of the English Department. This class will expose you to a variety of angles to this profession and will also include research methods. We will be compiling the research interests of the students in the class, learning how to use databases, and how to propose a course of study without yet having read most of the books on it. This is the kind of work you will be doing when writing a proposal for a book publisher or a grant. The aim of this course is practicality and will be split about 50-50 between methodology and historical sense.
Dr. Robert Forman will be teaching Allegory and Epic, which will focus on the four primary epics of antiquity: Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Vergil's Aeneid, and Apollonius of Rodes's Argonautica. Criticism of the past fifty years will also be read parallel to the primary texts. One view of the course in particular is the singularity of these verses. Is Vergil independent in this tradition, or did everything come from Homer? Can the epic be written after Homer? One text in particular that Dr. Forman recommended during his talk was The Making of Homeric Verse by Milman Parry.
Finally, last but certainly not least, in the introduction to our fall courses is Dr. Robert Fanuzzi's class on Narratives of American History: "America" as a Trans-Atlantic Construct. The course number is 635, and the registration number is 76096. What is America? America is a land composed of different language groups and literary traditions. Have we decided what "American Literature" is? This course looks at the struggle to define American Literature and how to prevent the definition from becoming fixed. The emergence of a national literature occurs from the creation of British American through the 1850's, but this class looks at how it is shaped through residues of literary history going back to Columbus and the transatlantic network. What colonial residues are there? There are certainly aspects of Cultural Studies as well as Performance Studies in this class -- how what people say to define themselves bespeaks a narrative identity.

Graduate Courses Fall 2012 (Part 1)
Registration is just around the corner, fellow graduate students. It's time to choose your classes, but which ones are you going to take? A few weeks ago, the English Department hosted a roundtable discussion with many of the professors teaching in the fall. If you were not able to attend, fear not. I am here to fill you in on all the details you missed.
Read on to find out about a few of the courses being taught this fall. I will be publishing a follow-up post on the Final Four (ha!) later this week. So watch your Google Reader or your News Feed for the next post.
Professor Lee Ann Brown is teaching a Workshop in Poetry and Poetics. The course number is 878, and the registration number 76117. The primary focus of the class will be to write your own poetry, but there will also be a focus on reading 20th Century and modern writing by other poets. Some of the texts you will be working with are The Collected Writings of Joe Brainard and I'll Drown My Book: Conceptual Writing by Women.

Another highlight of the course will be a public reading on April 18 by Joe Brainard.
Dr. Nicole Rice will be teaching a course on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The course number is 230, and the registration number is 76116. This course is designed as an introduction to Chaucer. We will be reading a selection of the tales in detail and considering the relationships between them as well as between Chaucer and his historical circumstance. Other texts will be included, both primary and secondary. Some issues we will be considering in the texts are marriage, gender and sexual roles. We will also be learning to read and speak Middle English. There will be weekly reading responses (to a different tale each week), a short paper, and a final long paper at the end of the semester.
Dr. Melissa Mowry is teaching Milton and the English Civil War. The course number is 350, and the registration number is 76099. This course will be putting Milton into conversation with his contemporaries. We will read essays, pamphlets, and pieces by Cromwell. In the Post-Restoration, we will question why Milton has cultivated the iconic reputation as the Poet of the Republic. We will look at Shannon Miller's Engendering the Fall. There will also be time spent doing archival work in electronic databases.

Summer 2012: Graduate Online Course Offerings
They're here! I know I've been waiting for these course listings with excitement: the Graduate Course Offerings for this summer. These are all online courses, which is perfect for the summer.
The St. John's University English Department will offer three graduate seminars online this summer. These courses extend our engagement with our students beyond the academic year. We log into dynamic course platforms to engage in discussions, post questions, and communicate with each other. Everyone is welcome; non-matriculated students can take summer courses and apply to the program next year.
E. 135: Critical Issues in Writing Assessment (31263)
Dr. Harry Denny
Teachers spend countless hours assessing their students' writing. This course focuses on the history, theory, and methods of writing assessment in English Studies. Students will explore their own experiences and practices and embark on original research that may commingle material from other online courses this summer. For secondary school teachers, we explore how stat-mandated exams and the prepping of students for them might be re-imagined pedagogically outside received notions of templates and canned rhetoric. Students will respond to critical issues, push one another through discussion threads, and workshop their own writing and scholarship.
Please email the instructor, Harry Denny, for more details: dennyh@stjohns.edu
E. 770: Studies in 20th Century American Lit. & Culture: Ezra Pound and Modernism (32008)
Dr. Stephen Sicari
With Pound's epic poem The Cantos as our main text, the course connects literary "modernism" to more general social, cultural, political, and scientific conditions suggested by the term "modernity." We will think about Pound the radical literary experimenter who helped shape the poetics of the twentieth century; we will think about Pound the pagan who recoils at established and orthodox religion; we will think about Pound the pedagogue who used his poetry to enact what can be seen as an Enlightenment project, and we will watch how this project leads to his endorsement of Fascism and to his own internment as a traitor; we will watch him re-think his life's work in Pisa as he writes what a poem of confession and hope; we will watch him respond to the Cold War and its "propaganda of luxury and terror" (his phrase).
Please email the instructor, Stephen Sicari, for more details: sicaris@stjohns.edu
E. 300: Teaching Shakespeare: The Dramatist or the Myth? (31262)
Dr. Steve Mentz
Every so often all of us who teach Shakespeare all get asked if we think he really wrote his plays. It's a silly question, but it's true that we read, teach, watch, and think about Shakespeare inside four hundred years of mythologized biography. This summer seminar explores how mythography around Shakespeare's life affects our practices as teachers and students of the works. We'll hold our noses and see last year's anti-Shakespearean film, "Anonymous," revisit the musch more fun but still inaccurate "Shakespeare in Love" (1998), and contrast both with an innovative recent scholarly book, Nine Lives of William Shakespeare. We'll also read four plays and see a live performance of Romeo and Juliet.

Summer Undergraduate Course Listings
It's time to start thinking about summer! Here are the undergraduate listings for both Summer Session I (May 29 - July 2) and Summer Session II (July 9 - August 9). All the courses are online, so if you are planning to get out of the city for the summer, you can still catch up on some coursework.
Eng. 1040: Writing for Business (30703)
Online
Dr. Kathleen Lubey
This course will emphasize the particular skills necessary for clear and efficient communication in business environments. Surveying the diverse forms of professional writing, from emails and cover letters to executive summaries and proposals, students will focus on the role clarity, organization, revision, and research in producing strong and purposeful writing. By the conclusion of the course, students will have collected a portfolio of various forms of business communication. This course will be taught fully online, and will require extensive work with texts and with other students’ writing through peer review exercises.
Eng. 1100C: Literature in a Global Context (30193)
Online
Dr. Melissa Mowry
Daniel Defoe’s novel, Robinson Crusoe (1719) is one of the most iconic works of imaginative literature written in English. Upon its publication 1719, it was an immediate best-seller and in the nearly three hundred years since it first appeared, its influence has never waned. This semester we’re going to take a look at Robinson Crusoe, its influences and its sources in order to think about the ways it established or failed to establish a paradigm for England’s cultural conquest of much of the rest of the world.

[See more after the jump]
FALL 2012
UNDERGRADUATE FLYER
Eng. 2200 (76412)/ Hon. 2250 (76413): Introduction to English Studies
MR 9:05-10:30 a.m.
Dr. Steven Mentz
This course introduces students to the “toolkit” of skills and practices necessary for every English major. All the major elements of the course point toward a single goal, teaching students to write informed, imaginative, analytical essays responding to works of English literature. We’ll read works in a variety of genres and historical periods, with a concentration on poetry. Students will write different kinds of papers, including a short “close reading” analysis, a contextualizing essay, and a performance review. Authors covered include Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, John Keats, T.S. Eliot, and Anne Carson. The class involves weekly student postings on the course website and one trip to see a play.
Eng. 2200: Introduction to English Studies (76043)
M. 3:25-4:50 p.m.; Thursday, on-line
Dr. John Lowney
This course introduces the critical reading and writing practices that constitute the English major. Through the reading, interpretation, and criticism of primarily modern and contemporary prose fiction, poetry, drama, and literary nonfiction, it will foster an understanding of the methodologies of literary and cultural studies. While the course will introduce important theoretical problems and terms, it will emphasize the practical experience of writing within the English major, from the composition of brief essays to the development of a more extensive research paper. Writing assignments will include informal creative exercises as well as formal papers.
Fall 2012 Graduate Course Listings
Below please find the Graduate Course Offerings for Fall 2012. Don't forget that on Thursday, March 15 there will be a roundtable event in the IWS at 3:30. Many of the English faculty will be there to discuss their seminar offerings, so you can a clear sense of the variety of classes this fall.

Graduate Courses: Update to Dr. Geller's Course Description
English 170
Authorship, Ownership, Appropriation and the Remix
Tuesday, 7:10-9:10pm
In Authorship, Ownership, Appropriation and the Remix we will consider why everyone inside and outside of education seems so concerned about plagiarism. Central to developing a critical and theoretical stance on plagiarism is an understanding of authorship and textual ownership. We will consider how the boundaries of authorship are maintained or expanded as texts are created, owned, and exchanged. To fully explore authorship and plagiarism in education we’ll read My Word: Plagiarism and College Culture, which explores students’ varied experiences with texts inside and outside of school, and Who Owns This Text: Plagiarism, Authorship, and Disciplinary Cultures, which explores faculty experiences with authorship and plagiarism. Plagiarism: Alchemy and Remedy in Higher Education will prompt us to consider high profile plagiarism cases and the technology and the socioeconomics of plagiarism and cheating -- students pay to have their papers written by paper mills, institutions pay corporations to police students’ writing, and the public pays the media to distribute tantalizing stories of textual appropriation. And we’ll ask if plagiarism is the best lens for evaluating textual practices like remixing, sampling, Creative Commons licenses, appropriation in poetry and fiction, and piracy. Throughout the semester we’ll consider the responsibility educators at all levels have for starting and facilitating conversations about the ethical, moral, and socio-cultural-historical issues that always attend the creation and sharing of texts.
Writing during the semester will include investigation of the plagiarism policies on course syllabi and in institutional documents and a short position paper on plagiarism detection software. Students will also each contribute at least one article annotation to CompPile (www.comppile.org). Final projects may take on issues ranging from and including pedagogy (from all levels of classrooms to writing centers and libraries), creative writing, technologies, identity and authorship. This course is for students interested in texts and intertextuality, textual ownership and authorship (academic and creative), technology and research, and education.

Graduate Course Time Change: ENG 700
There has been a time change to the following course:
Eng. 700: The Emergence of Modernism (15198)
W. 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Dr. Rachel Hollander
This course will center on several of Virginia Woolf’s novels and essays as a focal point for exploring the emergence and development of Anglo-American modernism. As the daughter of a Victorian man of letters, center of the Bloomsbury group, co-founder of the Hogarth Press (which published T.S. Eliot and the first English translations of Freud, among many others), prolific essayist, and originator of the modern novel, Woolf is a crucial figure in any formulation of literary modernism. With an emphasis on the politics of gender and sexuality, and the more recent considerations of modernism as a global phenomenon, we will follow the trajectory of Woolf’s career to trace early twentieth-century experimentation both aesthetic and cultural. In addition to Woolf, primary authors may include Djuna Barnes, T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, H.D., James Joyce, Nella Larsen, Katherine Mansfield, Olive Schreiner, and Gertrude Stein.

SPRING 2012
Eng. 2200: Introduction to English Studies (14975)
MR 3:25-4:50 p.m.
Dr. Kathleen Lubey
This course will acquaint students with what it means to read and to write as an English major. It will be our concern throughout the semester to read representative texts from the major genres of English literature (epic, drama, poetry, novel, essay) and to develop skills for discerning how texts create meaning through both formal and thematic means. The other major focus of the course will be to express this expertise in writing. Acquainting ourselves with how to write critically about literature, we will learn the methods that are central to an analytical engagement with texts: quoting exemplary passages, “close reading” texts, and utilizing specialized literary terminology. We also will become familiar with the major resources for research in our discipline. Evaluation will be based on several papers, a mid-term, a final, and class participation, which will involve class discussion, small group work, and peer review of writing.
Spring 2012 Graduate Course Offerings

Eng. 100: Modern Critical Theories (14776)
T. 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Dr. Harry Denny
In the context of the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression, global imperial conflict, and an on-going crisis of the humanities and the place of higher education in the new millennium, equipping oneself with critical theories to problem-pose and challenge the hegemonic could not be more important for better understanding the world in which we find ourselves, for providing a foundation to guide us to action and social change, or for offering a platform through English Studies to engage the everyday practices of aesthetics, creativity and production of meaning. This course explores literary, linguistic and socio-cultural influences on criticism in English Studies with specific attention given to Marxist/Frankford-inspired theories of domination, ideology, and post-Fordism; cultural studies; postmodernism; and the politics of identity. Students will explore key terms and lines of inquiry through comparative and in-depth study of primary texts, mainly book-length, that will provide a foundation for individual semester-long projects. Beyond weekly in-class discussions, students will develop collaborative/online working documents applying key terms to issues arising in everyday literary, literacy, composition or cultural studies research happening in relation to their own teaching/learning/mentoring.
