    American Literature: Past and Present

    Literature & Writing

    COURSE CODE

    ARTS2035

    This course offers a wide-ranging survey of American fiction and poetry. Our texts will be drawn from a range of historical periods, but we will pay especially close attention to the American century—the twentieth—and its aftermath. How, we will ask, are the defining fault-lines and contradictions of contemporary American society reflected in its literature? How have American writers responded to the historical vectors that shaped America’s present and what handle can novels, short stories, poems and other literary forms give us on the defining tensions of the American experiment? We will read classic works from the American canon alongside the best contemporary writing in order both to navigate a path through the complex literary history of the United States and construct an imaginary portrait of the world's most powerful nation.

    Ancient Greek Philosophy

    Philosophy & Ethics

    COURSE CODE

    ARTS2757

    This course will introduce you to the origins and development of philosophy in ancient Greece. How did philosophy come into being as a distinct mode of inquiry, separate from the earliest attempts at natural science and ancient religion alike? We consider the pivotal role of Socrates in addressing this question, and examine the development of philosophy as a discipline in Plato and Aristotle. Topics to be explored may include: ancient conceptions of the natural world; human mind and action; freedom and determinism; virtue and ethics. We also consider how ancient Greek thought continues to inform contemporary philosophical debate on these topics.

Walter

Michigan State University

"Growing up, I was a huge fan of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He inspired me a lot to get into my major and study wildlife. Australia is about as wild as it gets. Right now, I am living the best life."

Gabby

University of Florida

“Studying abroad with Hop has truly been the best decision I have ever made. In a short amount of time, I have explored the lively rainforests and the shimmering Great Barrier Reef. I've climbed mountains, sat at the edge of waterfalls, and even surfed the waves of the Gold Coast. I've met so many new friends from different backgrounds who unite on the same goal of discovering and learning, and I couldn’t have done that without Hop.”
