ENGL 12002 - Writing Human Rights, Novels, Poems and PlaysCourse Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(CMLT)
WRITING HUMAN RIGHTS This course asks how literature has framed our discussion of contemporary human rights. Examining non-fiction creative writing from the US, Italy, and South Africa, we will consider how literary expressions of human sympathy influence our ideas about politics and rights today. What stories do we hear? And whose voices? These questions will guide our reading of both literary texts and news stories, questioning our ideas about language, law, and humanity through them. Students will work and write across media, engaging digital and traditional forms of writing to hone their expressive and analytic skills. NOTE: English 120XX can be taken only once for departmental credit; students may take a second English 120xx for College credit only. . [AH, GE, W]
