ENGL 256 Excavating Histories: Archival Research Methods 6 credits
This course will introduce the fundamentals of working with special collections and archives, including ethical best practices and methods of research and interpretation. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship, we will explore questions such as: What constitutes an archive? What motivates people to create and seek out archives? Whose lives and histories have been privileged in the cultivation of archives, and what is being done to address these disparities? What are the limits of archiving as a means of redress? Course work will include in-person visits to collections at Carleton and beyond, as well as research in digitized collections nationwide.
Extra Time Required: Off-campus site visits to meet with community partners.

ENGL 257 Fandom and the Queer Digital Commons 6 credits
In this introduction to fan studies, students will engage with foundational and emerging scholarship, as well as popular media that represent key sites in the development of modern fandom. A famously “undisciplined” discipline, fan studies draws on a variety of intellectual traditions, and we will read broadly to consider what fandom includes, where its politics emerge, and how to engage as ethical researchers. This course foregrounds modern queer fan cultures to explore the shifting relationship between creators and audiences and the tensions within fan communities. Television and films from the 1960s to the present will serve as weekly case studies.

ENGL 344 Reading Queerly 6 credits
What might it mean to cultivate a queer relationship to reading? Is it a question of identity? That is, does a queer critic read queerly? Might it be a matter of argument? Is reading against the grain inherently queer? Or could it be that queer reading is defined by an affective relationship to the text? We will explore a range of multimedia primary sources and foundational works of queer literary criticism, considering how reading emerged as a privileged site for articulating and embodying queerness. Primary sources range from Henry James and Shakespeare to David Bowie, Prince, and Taylor Swift.
