ENGCMP 0565 - WRITING PLACES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
A. Can place make meaning? What roles do spaces, ecologies, or geographies play in shaping how we experience people, rooms, buildings, communities, regions, or the world? How do others, based on our placings, see us within these multiple frames? Writing Places introduces participants to cultural and rhetorical exchanges with places, and to constructions of place and community by thinking and moving through them. We'll consider what it means to construct, to be responsible for, to be culturally aware of, and to live place in local ecologies and/or digital/virtual environments. Unpacking current social in/justice issues and the communities they affect, participants may explore issues of racism, environmental and otherwise, land-based social in/justice, environmental sustainability, disability in/justice, im/migration, community-based activisms, and more. Through this process, we may be challenged to reorient our place/identity/orientation through various genres of writing places.
