Ethical Themes in the Contemporary American Short Story

Catalog description

Do you like to read short stories and discuss the ethical issues they raise? In this seminar, we will discuss contemporary American short stories in terms of ethical issues involving love, envy, kindness, cruelty, pride, pity, grief, obligation, charity, and other areas. How can such discussions offer fresh perspectives on fiction as well as on ethics? This is an in-person seminar with all sessions available for remote participation by students who have valid reasons for not being able to attend in person. In addition, all sessions will be recorded.
