ENG2005 (10) Literature and Environmental Catastrophe
Floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions: natural disasters have been with humanity as long as we have sought stability and defied the dynamics of the natural world. Often devastating to human life and social order, disasters have occasioned stories, poems, and songs that grapple with the challenging philosophical, religious, aesthetic, and social questions raised by environmental catastrophe. In this course we will examine a selection of works, from ancient myths to post-apocalyptic novels, and discuss how literature can capture the catastrophic, protest the inevitable, and imagine the unimaginable.
ENG2006: Shakespeare and his World:
Shakespeare and His World is an in-depth engagement with Shakespeare’s most important plays and their context. The students will read and discuss a selection of plays and secondary literature under the direction of a specialist in the field.
SP204L (10) Business English II
This course develops advanced skills in cross-cultural communication, particularly the use of English in the financial and corporate sectors. Students are guided in the development of written and spoken English skills used to assume leadership in these environments.
