Course Description:
In this course, you will analyze theories of mindfulness and engage in classroom exercises designed to demonstrate how contemplative practices can improve writing. Through a writing-workshop approach, you will write and revise analytical essays; you will also write regular informal reflections on a range of readings and practices. The ultimate goal of the course is to teach you to harness the complexities of your internal and external experiences in order to generate thoughtful and original writing. |
