AML 4261 Roberts Fall 2021

We will explore a variety of texts from and about the American South, with special attention to how race shapes Southern culture. Students will be expected to read and comprehend at a very high level (this is an advanced course and will be taught as such) and produce sophisticated, erudite, clear, and intellectually-rigorous writing. You will produce one short paper (topic supplied) and one long research paper (9-12 pages on a topic of your choosing), plus a midterm exam.
