An intensive, accelerated course satisfying concurrently the requirements of the UC Entry Level Writing Requirement and the first half of Reading and Composition. Readings will include imaginative, expository and argumentative texts representative of the range of those encountered in the undergraduate curriculum and will feature authors from diverse social and cultural backgrounds and perspectives. Instruction in writing a range of discourse forms and in the revision of papers.

Geographer, Yi-Fu Tuan, says that "Place is security, space is freedom: we are attached to the one and long for the other" (Tuan). Freedom and security, however, are vulnerable to being compromised by fear, misconceptions, power, and privilege. We will explore these conflicts by looking at the use of public and private spaces, proximity to others, and proximity to truth. Students will examine a variety of sources; writing assignments will include a text analysis, synthesis, and an autoethnographic essay.
