Engaging English (F19 ENGL 202, Purdue) Dashboard

Description

image of surfingThis class will teach you how to surf (the Internet) and about the various ways that English studies have been transformed over the last few decades.  Starting with some basic close-reading and analysis skills, we will then explore how those skills have been increasingly applied to new areas of inquiry (tv, film, culture, critical theory, and politics).  We will also employ new digital tools that change the way we approach our subjects of inquiry, including Web annotation, timeline-building, gallery-building and GIS mapping.  As we proceed, we will consider the nature of English studies:  What is an English department and how does it relate to the rest of the university?  What can you do with an English degree?  Why is it necessary to fight for English in an increasingly STEM-oriented world?

The University of Jena was founded in 1558 and is located in Jena, Germany. During the Romantic period, Jena was known for being one of the premier academic institutions in all of Germany. Many great philosophers gathered here to study, debate, and teach and as such it is considered the emergence of Romanticism. Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling began teaching at the University of Jena in 1798.

This is one of the main locations for Darwin's research done for the publishing of On the Origin of Species. This is where he connected several different pieces of evidence to prove the existence of evolution and natural selection.
