3 Credits

This is an introductory course in the art and craft of reading and writing nonfiction.

You will read and analyze contemporary and classic works of nonfiction while also constructing and revising your own essays. Assigned works will include Black, Brown, Indigenous, and queer writers along with other writers reflecting a diversity of voices and perspectives throughout literary history. Students will be responsible for crafting original nonfiction, commenting on student work, workshop participation, attendance at a literary reading, short presentations and/or papers, and a final portfolio of nonfiction.
