WRCM 303 - Writing about Travel: Composing as Reflection on Time Abroad

FC ARHU WADV

4 credits
Students returning from study abroad are often asked: “How was Peru/London/Tibet/Zanzibar?” Frequently, after such students have replied “fine,” “great,” or “really tough,” the conversation stops. How might students make sense of their journeys? How might we fashion our travels into coherent and compelling writing? This course creates a community of writers and travelers in which we will both read and create various genres of writing about travel. Travel experience is required. Closed to first-years.
