First Year / Second Year / Third Year / Fourth Year

First Year

Many of our first-year courses preclude one another which means credit cannot be earned for more than one course. When selecting courses, please be mindful that you cannot enroll or receive credit in more than one of the following courses: FYSM 1004, ENGL 1000 (no longer offered), ENGL 1100, ENGL 1200, ENGL 1300, ENGL 1400, ENGL 1600 and ENGL 1700.

Students are also limited to enrolling in ENGL 1010 or ENGL 1020 as these courses preclude one another. Majors and Minors in any English Program in search of a dedicated writing course should take ENGL 1010 instead of ENGL 1020.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

ENGL 2802B: Indigenous and Canadian Lit. with S. Jamieson

As an introduction to Indigenous and Canadian Literatures, this course invites you to study a variety of texts produced in or about the place now known as Canada by peoples with radically different perspectives on that place, its histories, and its meanings. Texts will include creation stories, exploration narratives, life writing, poetry, songs, short stories, critical essays, plays, novels (including a graphic novel), visual art, and film. In particular, the course encourages you to make connections among works that engage with long-standing ideas and images often identified as typically or distinctively “Canadian”: examples include the idea of Canada as a “northern” nation; Canada and Canadians as peacekeeping, polite, and multicultural; the canoe, the cottage, maple sugar, and, of course, hockey. We will think about how Indigenous and Settler writers and artists reinforce and/or subvert the received meanings of these ideas and objects as they use language, literature, sound, and image to construct identities and relationships to place.

Classes will consist of lectures and discussion. Lectures will provide historical and cultural context for the readings and will help students to develop their skills in close analysis, research, and essay writing.
