ENGW1913: Writing and Reading the YA Social Justice Novel

What young adult novel would you write? In this course you will write short stories that you can turn into a novel over time. While the readings and class discussions will focus upon young adult novels involving social justice, it is up to you what kind of novel you would envision. We will also consider the role of art in society during a time when book bans are on the rise, including against many of the authors whose texts you will read. To keep your project going when class ends, you will also learn how to create a mood map, world-building document or another creative map that allows you to expand your vision.
