Dr. Karina Palau is a Continuing Lecturer in the Department of Comparative Literature. Her recent course offerings include a freshman writing seminar on travel literature, "Boroughs & Barrios: Moving in and through NYC and LA," an American Cultures course on (re)making American history in the post-Civil-Rights-Era U.S., and a course that examines depictions of four distinctive cities on the American continent: New York, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.

Since Spring 2019, Dr. Palau has taught and continues to teach Comparative Literature 60AC, (Re)making American History, a course that explores Post-Civil Rights “(re)makings of American History” by studying the works of writers and artists who participated in the urgent project of producing alternative and corrective visions of the United States’ past.

Comp Lit 60AC: “(Re)making American History”

Comparative Literature 60AC: “(Re)making American History” explores Post-Civil Rights (re)makings of American History, studying works by writers and artists who participate in the urgent project of producing alternative and corrective visions of the United States’ past.

When I got news about the fellowship program it seemed ideal because I was asking students to play with different media and to think about the aesthetic and political implications of their choices. In the past, it's only been students who have already come to class with a particular skillset who could make a film or similar multimedia project.
