Hello and welcome to the CUNY Commons page for English 319: Nineteenth-Century American Women Writers! This site is not intended for students only but is a public-facing site constructed for the purpose of archiving and showcasing the student projects and pedagogical materials used for this course. This course was offered at Hunter College (CUNY) in the Fall of 2023, was taught by Austin Bailey (an English Department faculty member) and cross-listed with Women and Gender Studies. The primary aim of this site is to highlight the highly dynamic and creative multimodal work students who take this course have completed, to allow other students to see each other’s work, and to give this work an enduring digital platform.

Above you will find a menu of options. Under “Syllabus,” I have included a sample syllabus from Fall of 2023, as well as reproduced what I feel are some key highlights from that syllabus (including a brief overview of my approach to ungrading this course). Under the tab “About Student Projects” you will find a category guide that explains and offers a brief introduction to each type of assignment being archived here, in some instances with links to helpful resources. See, for instance, the Research Paper page for useful links, particularly relevant to those teaching at Hunter College but useful for anyone. Under the “Student Projects Archive” you will find an archive of student projects sorted by category. All projects are archived with the student’s permission.
