Subject: Course offerings


Another set of poco courses: here at Wright State University in Dayton, 
Ohio (the peace talks with the leaders of the former Yugoslavia are right 
down the road), I teach a lower-level general education course using "One 
World of Literature" (Houghton Mifflin): we do African, Asian, Middle 
Eastern, and Latin American lit, some in translation.  The English 
department has just added a junior-level course which will survey 
Anglophone postcolonial literature.  On the senior-graduate I have taught 
an Anglophone African lit course, and regularly alternate between a 
course in Canadian-Australian-New literature and one in African, (Asian) 
Indian, and West Indian lit.   In recognition that there are Anglophone 
literatures out there from places besides the U.S. and Great Britain, our 
department several years ago took the name "Department of English 
Language and Literatures."  Nevertheless, we continue to receive 
correspondence addressed to the Department of English Literature.
