About this Course

This course asks a perennial question in American literature: int what ways does our community contribute to our sense of freedom and to what extent might it limit or focus that freedom. Through class discussion, brief papers, and some literary excursions in the city, we will approach 'freedom and community' from several perspectives, including the perspective of a student's overall Jesuit education here at SU.
