ENGL 21027 - Who Runs the World? Girls in Contemp Lit

Course Credit: 1
(WGSS)
Girls, Beyonce tells us, run the world. A powerful idea, and one worth engaging with. But before we can even begin to consider this claim we have to ask: what is a girl? Like all social concepts “girl” is not a natural category but one that has been created and changes over time. Focusing on late-20th and 21st century literature and culture, this class will explore what it means to be a girl today in relation to issues of class, race, gender, and sexuality. [AH]
