FYSP 001 - House and Home

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
Home can be a place of dwelling, a site of familiarity and comfort. It might also be a remembered or imagined place, a site of nostalgia. And for many, home is something to escape or leave behind. In this seminar, we will read imaginative or poetic representations of exile, displacement, migration, and lives lived in diaspora that will stretch our understanding of what home means, and perhaps lead us to a better sense of what else home could mean, for others as much as for ourselves.
This course is appropriate for new students.
