INQ-277 | Travel Writing

Topic Description:

This course is designed to provide students with the ability to use writing as a tool of understanding in the context of world travel. More specifically, using a variety of formats-some formal, some not, some very personal, others more objective-students will have the opportunity to trace their encounters with places, peoples, and cultures that are very different than their own and to reflect on their experiences as a means of learning about oneself and one's worldview. Students taking this course need not necessarily be amazing writers, but should enjoy putting words on the page, experimenting with language, and testing both themselves and others.

Course Types Offered: Travel
