  • 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-3220A: The Art of Poetry

    This poetry course offers students an opportunity to focus on revision in an in-depth manner. How does the writer decide what stays in a poem and what goes? Can the craft and art of poetry be taught? As Mark Strand said, “All poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes.” How can the spontaneity of creativity and limits imposed by craft be reconciled? These questions will be explored both through reading of essays on poetic craft, reading poems by well-known poets along with essays on how they revised their work and by students’ own poetry and revisions.

  • ENG-3230: Life Story Writing

    This one-day workshop will be an intensive introduction to the “how-to” of life story writing. The day will be a mixture of writing workshop, lecture, and literary analysis of assigned readings in order to construct a working methodology and practice for the aspiring memoir writer. Students will learn how to take the raw material of their lives and shape it into a compelling narrative using the techniques and craft of creative non-fiction. We will explore the writer’s toolbox: detail/description, character development and arc, scene writing, story arc and theme and how to put those elements to best use in construction of stories. Although geared for writers, this workshop will also be of value to non-writers, particularly students studying psychology, by showing how life writing is a valuable tool to self-understanding, and how creating narrative out of raw experience and memory can have tremendous therapeutic value.

  • ENG-3260: Urban Adventures: Re-Writing Urban Space

    In this class we will immerse ourselves in the art of creative non-fiction as a means to rigorously explore and investigate urban spaces. Through in-class and at-home writing exercises, reading, text-experiments, and urban investigations, students will generate writing about an urban space, imaginatively mapping both their own neighborhoods and communities, as well as communities not their own. We will tell stories of our version of urban spaces and wander cities in search of new stories. We will be post-modem flaneurs and psycho-geographers. The emphasis will be on creating alternative cartographies and new visions of the city for the 21st century, and in the process coming up with a vibrant re-thinking of the very notion of community, city, and the urban self.

  • ENG-3290: The Art of Screenwriting

    This class uses a workshop format for students to develop the fundamental tools and techniques of screenwriting for film. It is designed to provide the creative and film writing student with skills that cultivate an ability to create compelling narrative story lines, a nuanced understanding of the dramatic structure of screenplays, and an ability to effectively read and write in film script format. The class is designed for the screenwriting student who is prepared to originate new work and present it in a supportive and rigorous workshop setting. Work will be given a close reading by all students and the teacher in the workshop. Participants will give detailed written comments as well as engage in group critique of work. The class will seek to investigate screenwriting as a genre that is both bound by conventions but breaks with held formulas. We will reflect on the commercial versus the artistic aspects of the screenplay and the demands of each market- how can the screenplays and stories we want to tell be both personal (reflect our cultural identities) and viable in a commercial marketplace?

Students will learn how to conduct and include highly effective research while simultaneously exercising their own authentic voice and infusing it into their academic writing. Students will employ various types of research in their paper as they examine their community of Southern California through a lens of empowerment. Students will use research to explore local people, places, or organizations dedicated to empowering underserved communities and ask themselves what they really understand about the history, efficacy, and mission of the people they investigate.

  • ENG-3630: Works in Progress: Poetry Discussion Group

    This course offers students an opportunity to explore the writing and editing processes of poetry in an in-depth manner. The notion of poet as conduit versus poet as craftsman is grounds for much debate. How certain can we be that what comes to us from our muse is as Pound said, “The best words in the best order”? We hold up to the light the roles of biography and geography and their inevitable shadow over the lives of the poets we study.

  • ENG-3670: Writing As Seeing: Understanding the Poetic Self

    Writing and reading poetry helps us see what is true, although that truth may take many forms and guises. Through lyric expression, students examine both the interior self and the exterior world, looking- and seeing- through the vehicles of image and world. Students engage the poetic act through free writing, poetry assignments and required reading. This course covers a range of 20th-century poets, as well as various forms and styles of poetry. Each class includes a workshop in which student work is discussed and critiqued in a group environment.

  • 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.
