CRWR 248 - Climate Nonfiction

FC ARHU WINT

4 credits
This course will focus on the creative nonfiction of climate change. As writers, scholars, and ordinary citizens, some of the immediate challenges we face include how to document what’s happening, how to depict scientific research for a general readership, and how we can make use of nonfiction storytelling techniques to better understand how we got here, where we are now, and all the possible futures to which humanity might be headed. Students will read recent published work on the climate crisis, including long-form journalistic essays, memoir, and more formally uncategorizable writing. Student writing will include exercises and longer nonfiction assignments, submitted for and discussed in workshop.
