ENGL 16007 - Travel Writing

Course Credit: 1
Travel writing shapes our encounters with specific places; conversely the encounter with place inevitably shapes the traveller. This course explores the conventions, strategies, and current practices of travel writing, with the goal of connecting course members’ own travels to course discussions and assignments. Our readings and other texts will reflect the specific locations visited by or of interest to class participants; we may also take field trips as a class. Participants’ own travel writing will be published in an online magazine produced by the class. [AH, W]
