This course focuses on works of imaginative literature from the state of New York and challenges students to consider the implications and consequences of historical and cultural constructions of place. Through reading, discussing, and writing about literature that specifically considers human interactions with their physical environments, students explore the means by which the natural world is understood and represented, and they interrogate the ways physical spaces are reorganized into cultural places. The Honors section includes additional experiential learning, co-curricular elements, and applied community activities, including trips to visit locations depicted in the literature.
