5 creditsGE PR-CUndergraduateStudent Option

Students create compelling nonfiction essays combining personal experience, research, and narrative craft. How do we address settler occupation, colonial extraction, carceral violence, migrant dehumanization, climate crisis, misogynist assaults, and anti-trans and anti-queer hatred, while also celebrating solidarity, culture, and connection? Course examines creative nonfiction forms such as the flash essay, memoir, braided essay, reported essay, and hybrid essay. Assignments include in-class writing exercises, a text presentation, annotated bibliography, initial and revised essay drafts, and peer feedback.

  • This course will satisfy the CRES Social Movement requirement if passed with a C/P or better.
