Writing is one of the most compelling skills we learn as environmental scientists and communicators. Yet, the formulaic and monotonous nature of composing scientific peer-reviewed publications can constrain creative and imaginative prose, features of our writing that draw in audiences outside academia. The goal of this graduate seminar is to provide a broad, introductory exploration to creative and environmental science writing. We will explore, discuss, and workshop multiple literary genres – from poetry to creative fiction and nonfiction – as both a means of diversifying our writing craft and improving narrative structure in academic writing.

On March 13, May 1, & May 8 classes will be held in Wellman 306.
