Course Catalog Description

Training in writing expository prose. Instruction in expository writing in conjunction with reading literature.

Class Description

FPF Thread: Social Justice. In this course, we’ll explore the importance of hearing from voices that have historically been silenced. For years, we have read about marginalized groups through the voices of authors who do not share the background they’re writing about. While analyzing works from authors who themselves are part of the community they write about, we’ll explore themes of racism, ableism, poverty, mental health, and gender and sexual identity.
