ENGL 60

L.A. Women

Lecture, three hours; discussion, one hour. Focus on women writers and filmmakers who live in and write about Los Angeles. Ranging personal essay, memoir, science fiction, romantic comedy, sitcom, and documentary, writers and filmmakers encountered linger and loiter in L.A.'s neighborhoods and their communities that expand, complicate, and enrich what we think we know about City of Angels. Students become particularly attuned to how race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class inform one's orientation to and mobility within L.A. Study of history of L.A., from its more visible areas like Hollywood or Beverly Hills to its edges and outlying spaces like San Fernando Valley, Inland Empire, and East L.A. Students think critically about how women's accounts of living in, or visiting, L.A. have contributed to and intervened within stories city tells about itself. P/NP or letter grading.

Grey bars are non-letter outcomes — P/NP, S/U, incompletes. They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department — so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
