You have the opportunity to apply for a year studying abroad. This gives you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in another culture.
You read texts closely, paying attention to form and to language. You also ask broader questions about how literary texts are shaped by larger cultural forces. You interrogate what we read, how we read, and why we read, in order to produce your own critical and creative response to the world we live in today.
