English 181B--Adventure LIterature: Exploring Cape Cod

Folks, I highly recommend this course and this instructor if you want a memorable, outside-the-box learning experience in English!

***


There are now a few openings in a course in the Adventure Literature series, Exploring Cape Cod:  Its Nature and Culture (ENGL 181B).  Course readings will span the last four hundred years, touching on what Cape Cod has been, what people imagine it to be, and what it might become in the future. In November the class will travel to the Cape, where students will live, work, and study at the Massachusetts Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.  The stay will end with a visit to Plymouth Plantation, where students can see how the Pilgrims lived and celebrated their first Thanksgiving.

English majors have the option of taking this as a 400-level course towards the 300/400-level literature, writing, rhetoric requirement (#7 on the degree audit).  If taken as ENGL 181B, it may count towards the lower-level American/British literature elective (#3 on the degree audit) or towards the lower-level literature, writing, rhetoric requirement (#8 on the degree audit) . 

The instructor, Dr. Robert Burkholder, will be at a table in the HUB August 29, August 30, September 4, and September 5 if you have questions.
