ENG 274 - Topics: Intersectional Creative Writing With New Media (1)

Intersectional Creative Writing with New Media engages difference–such as race, gender, citizenship, sexuality, and identity–through audio, video, electronic literature, and new media creative writing. Students will learn about and write poetry, fiction, non-fiction through experimentation with digital platforms with a focus on race, gender, justice, and identity in the digital sphere. Students will also read “digitally informed” “traditional” texts such as Claudia Rankine’s Citizen and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee to further explore ways creative writing, new media, and social justice intersect on the page. This course will include rigorous reading, writing, workshopping, labs, special guest speakers, and field trips to better facilitate digital learning and creative writing. Through constructionist learning–learning through creating–students will engage in creative writing and digital media making grounded in dialogues of intersectionality in our digital age. Prerequisite(s): Writing-designated course or ENG 201, ENG 202, or ENG 215.
