Do you know any places in NY that teach Icelandic seriously? Looking for A1.2 and above. Both in Person and Online(if you know legit, good ones).

Thanks.

Dear English majors, anyone from before the 2010s,

Could you, please, tell me what names you used to study in literary theory? I am curious, since I noticed a pattern in the current approach they have in classes. All of the names we study are anti-colonial theorists and anti-white-(something, depending on the field) agenda builders. I am curious as to how it used to be before...whatever that is.

The question arose when I tried to work with texts and felt stuck. Then I thought about how I have seen "old-school" English majors work through texts, and it is not all about colonialism, nor about victimizing or blaming someone. They looked at politics, history, sociology, psychology, the art aspect of it, the author's biography, and so on. I have deep respect for how academia used to be, so I got curious.

Thank you.
