Description: University students have to navigate a variety of borders - intersections of languages, cultures, social worlds, and even disciplinary fields. Through critical reading of both multicultural literature and scholarly research, we will explore how such border crossings have been managed by others and consider the relevance and impact of these crossings on our own lives. This course is open to all students but is designed for students whose first language is not English.
