A three-year project to develop a 30-credit online asynchronous graduate program in English.

The English Program at SC State proposes to develop an online, asynchronous M.A. in English Program with a focus on Intersectional Studies, a framework with the goal of understanding how aspects of individual identity (which can include but are not limited to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and religion) intersect to construct different degrees of power and powerlessness. This graduate program will be part of the continuing initiatives in the English Program for outreach to adult learners interested in the Humanities and for development of more programs in Intersectional Studies.
