WRI 214 Writing for Social Change
This course explores how writing, broadly defined, promotes social change. Through the study and analysis of a range of multimedia texts, students will develop an understanding of how writing builds community, critiques dominant discourses, inspires people, and transforms cultures. Students will create a series of written and visual texts, at least some of which will be for a public audience. Specific course topics may include digital activism, environmental justice, countercultural writing, social movement rhetorics, nonprofit writing, and/or service-learning projects. The course is developed for all majors.
