Students employ critical analysis and reflect on the range of theoretical approaches, textual forms, authorial identities, orientations, and audiences encountered across the wide field of English and textual studies. Students also consider the history of the field, underlying philosophical tenets, and current and emergent practices. The extended project requires research, close textual analysis, and application of a specific critical or theoretical perspective; it may include, along with the researched academic essay component, other forms of writing, including multi-modal and creative writing. Students also produce artifacts to support the finalization of plans and preparation for next steps for post-graduation success. (Senior Experience)
