After a petition circulated calling for Yale to “decolonize the English department,” the first students are enrolled in a new course created by the department to combat claims of racism.
What’s more, new requirements are in place to ensure a more “diversified” slate of courses.
The petition, a Google document which has since been made private, critiqued the perceived whiteness of the English department requirements: “A year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity.”
Yale’s English faculty voted to “diversity” the curriculum.
The newly developed Comparative World English course, which debuted this fall, is taught by English professor Stephanie Newell.
Her research focuses on “the public sphere in colonial West Africa and issues of gender, sexuality, and power as articulated through popular print cultures,” according to her faculty bio.
