  • ENG-3120: Misinformation, Disinformation, and “Fake News”

    What sources can you trust and how do you know? The rapid growth of the internet and social media has fundamentally changed the way most people seek out and receive information. With these changes come new challenges for finding and identifying reliable sources. By conducting close, critical readings of media sources, this workshop examines how knowledge is constructed and how truth can be manipulated. Alternative facts, fake news, manipulated media, disinformation, propaganda - these concepts are not new. By examining “information ecosystems” and conducting detailed case studies of “fake news,” students gain the tools and skills necessary to critically analyze and evaluate sources. Students are introduced to a wide range of media literacy tools and learn to trace claims to their original source, seek out evidence, and counter misleading or false narratives. Applying these strategies to real world cases, students will get hands-on practice identifying and evaluating online sources.

  • ENG-3680: Human Narrative and American Culture

    This two-day workshop will take an intensive, critical, intersectional look at narrative and its place in American culture. Through the lens of readings in the neuroscience of history, the social psychology behind tribalism and moral choices, and the sociology behind the history of cities, we will take a closer look at varying influences on our national narrative and how we perceive it. We will question how it can be shaped and reshaped, and the place that we, as citizens have in that narrative. Particular attention will be given to our constantly shifting present-day national narrative as it is influenced and changed daily through the news and social media. Through lectures, analysis of pre-class readings, dialogue, and in-class writing exercises, we will ask how we were formed by the narratives in which we grew up, how those narratives spoke to or ignored us, and how we can, through our own writings, social media practices, and behavior in our communities help to shape the narrative of the world in which we live.

  • ENG-3710: Writing Magical Realism: Making the Familiar Strange

    This creative writing course draws upon the considerable resources of international magical realist writing in order to support students in developing new approaches to their own creative work. Magical Realism, particularly in its more classic examples, employs imaginative leaps in the context of the ordinary to problematize and playfully resist the limitations of “things as they are.” At the heart of the course is the question: What is the psychological, political, and aesthetic value of imagining that which is said to be impossible? In exploring this question, we will aim to understand how the playful techniques employed by magical realist writers can address many interests and issues, including issues of social justice and forms of colonization. Furthermore, because the worlds of Magical Realism frequently explore the tension between the plausible and the impossible, the matter-of-fact and the extraordinary, creative writers studying this genre are in position to learn how to effectively write both realism and fantasy, as well as how to create a potent balance between (and/or disturbance of) the two.

  • ENG-3900BN: Poetry & Memory

    This workshop provides an opportunity to mine our memories to awaken new, startling poems. We will explore the rich territory of ideas, people, places, and emotions from our past, and examine how memory can inform and affect our writing. Students will learn how to dig into memories from the span of their lives and will see how uncovering one memory often leads to another and another, creating fresh, imaginative work that surprises both the writer and reader. The day will be a mixture of lecture, reading classical and contemporary poetry based on poets’ memories, and practicing fever writing or automatic writing, tapping into our memories and the subconscious and reading aloud to the class. Although geared for poets and writers, this workshop will also be of value to non-writers, particularly students studying psychology, by showing how we can capture and utilize details from our memories to use as inspiration no matter what our discipline.

  • ENG-3900CD: Writing the Body

    This two-day workshop investigates the aesthetic intersection between writing and gender. Is writing by women fundamentally different from writing by men? Are there clues in how men and women apply (or ignore) the rules of grammar, syntax and structuring principles? Hints in their choice of subject matter, style, strength of voice, clarity of thought? And what about the writing produced by *trans, intersex, agender, genderfuck and genderfluid writers? Are these gendered differences in writing mirrored in the literal form and function of our differently gendered bodies? This creative writing class invites students to view these questions through the twin lenses of intersectionality and the poststructuralist feminist discourse of ?criture f?minine, conduct in-depth textual investigations, and playfully experiment with form, content and style in their own creative responses.

  • ENG-3900D: Writing the Self Into the 21st Century: A Laboratory

    The central concern of this two-day workshop is to investigate the following question: what does it mean to be alive in the 21st century? Naturally it takes a while for a century to get going; it seems that it’s only as we enter this century’s second decade that we can even begin to grapple with this matter. Within this central focus, other questions will be raised, such as what are the social and technological structures that define our daily existence? How does everyday life today differ from our daily routines in the 20th century? What do we despise about this century? What are uniquely 21st century pleasures, public and private? What are the pivotal events of the first decade? What role do ongoing concerns such as religion, love, identity, sex, creativity and spirituality play? And how do we relate to history and social justice? Some focus will also be given to the ambivalent role of writing and literature in our century. The framework for this seminar will be as much experiential as theoretical, and therefore highly participatory and dialogue based, including informal presentations on the 2nd day of the workshop. Prior to the workshop, participants will be emailed a number of questions that will require some forethought and some gathering of artifacts. Students will use the workshop’s findings to write a personal/creative essay on this topic. Students are encouraged to find a form that meets the shape of this century.

  • ENG-3900M: Intro to Psychogeography: Where Is Antioch?

    This one-day workshop investigates and excavates the social and psychic geography of AULA and its nearby environs, allowing students to come to a deeper relationship with and more poetic, more embodied understanding of precisely where we are. The French Situationists’ concept of Psychogeography serves as theoretical framework. This model has been defined as the study of the precise effects of geographical setting on the emotions and behaviors of individuals. One of the major premises of the Situationists was that post-industrial capitalism engendered a profound state of alienation from one’s physical surroundings. The class examines the history of Situationism and its key theories, including concepts of psychogeography, drift, detournement and situations. Students also analyze their own perception of AULA’s locatedness by undertaking a group wandering around the environs surrounding AULA, attempting to remap AULA, resituate it in its environs and reimagine it. Students record what they find using writing, drawing, tape recordings, photography, and above all, their imaginations. No grade equivalent allowed.

  • ENG-3900N: Poetry & Dreaming

    This workshop investigates the aesthetic intersection between poetry and dreaming. We will explore the rich territory of ideas, people, places, and emotions living in our dreams, and consider how we can tap into that world to create art. We will examine how dreams can inform and affect our writing, inspiring surprising scenes, and providing us with a window into our subconscious. Students will learn how to ?steal? from their dreams to create fresh, delightful, imaginative work. The day will be a mixture of lecture, reading classical and contemporary poetry based on dreams, analyzing poetry and its use of dreams, hearing the dreams of students, practicing the writing tips and methods offered in class, and finally molding our dreams into poems. Although geared for poets and writers, this workshop will also be of value to non-writers by showing how we can capture and utilize details and knowledge from our subconscious to use as inspiration no matter what our discipline.

  • ENG-4020: High Risk: Writing & Transgression

    It is recommended that students who are in the final quarter of the Creative Writing Concentration complete this advanced seminar. The purpose of the seminar is to provide an environment in which students may reflect on their own work and assess the nature of their development during the residency period in the program. Such issues as style, voice, ability to view one’s work critically, and definition of one’s professional aims, including potential for graduate study, are reviewed and assessed. This reflection is performed in an individual tutorial with a mentor or in a small seminar setting, depending on the enrollment in a given quarter.
