[Cwgrad-announcements] Spring Quarter CRWT Graduate Course Descriptions

[Andrew Winer]

Dear MFAs,

Here are the CRWT graduate course descriptions I have so far for Spring Quarter:

262  Sec: 001 - Fiction Workshop For Non-Emphasis MFAs -- Lalami

This course is specifically geared for MFAs whose primary emphasis is not fiction, and who want to take a fiction workshop to meet one of their cross-genre requirements.

262 Sec: 002 - Fiction Workshop for Fiction MFAs - Long

270 Poetry Workshop of Poetry MFAs - Abani

230 Research Nonfiction - Lutz

This workshop will focus on research nonfiction, books or articles that require reporting, interviews, electronic, library, and archival research.   Students should bring a project with them to this workshop, which can be either historical or contemporary or both, and which they have already formulated as an idea or have already started as a piece.  Those doing book projects will produce a draft of a formal book proposal, those doing an article will produce either a draft of the piece or a detailed pitch.  We will read a few proposals and a few examples, work with research librarians, and workshop our own pieces, proposals, and pitches.
 

We will read at least parts of Tom Lutz, Crying and Doing Nothing, Barry Glassner, The Culture of Fear, Lawrence Weschler, A Wanderer in the Perfect City, Mike Davis, City of Quartz, and other texts.



252G - JOURNALISM - Whitney



Gonzo journalism, war journalism, contemporary.  Except for Blackhawk Down, which is available online, all the readings listed by week on the syllabus are available as pdf or Word downloads from the course's Blackboard website. The week-by-week listings do suggest that if students have never read Hiroshima, In Cold Blood and The Orchid Thief, they should buy and read the full texts, not just the excerpts online.
