Course Description:
In this community engagement writing course, you will have the opportunity to explore the cultural scene in Hartford and write about your experiences. Through experimentation and practice, you will grow in trusting your artistic instinct, cultivating your personal voice, and exercising agency. Ultimately, you will push the boundaries of creative nonfiction to tell real-life stories in authentic and unexpected ways. As a supportive writing community, you will give and receive feedback on ongoing work and delve into the ethical considerations that come into play when writing from real-life experience. We will partner with a Hartford organization to explore the city's cultural life, and the work will culminate in a final project. You will complete 10 hours of direct service outside of class. |
