The program in American Studies is seeking a sessional lecturer for the Fall 2013 semester for USA200H1F: Introduction to American Studies.
Description:
USA200H1F: Introduction to American Studies. Students in this course will examine the politics, history and culture of the United States through a selection of "keywords" from the field of American Studies (“nation,” “frontier,” “race,” “gender," “memorials,” etc.). Through a critical analysis of primary readings from American studies scholars and other academic and contemporary writing, students will interrogate and problematize the keywords in question. A central focus of this analysis will be the social, cultural and political contexts surrounding these keywords, as well as their representation in mediated texts. The instructor will also provide a material “object of the week” that functions as an engaging entry point into the issues and debates related to the week's topic. The object and its significance will be discussed and debated by the students in conjunction with the instructor. Emphasis will be placed on the students' engagement with primary texts and the development of their critical reading, writing and discussion skills.
