Writing Labor’s Story ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course provides students with the opportunity to spend a semester working intensively on their writing and writing process. In it, each participant will produce a publishable piece of non-fiction writing about labor grounded in their own experience and in well-researched information. Our semester's work will consist of reading, writing, research and oral presentations that contribute to the drafting and revision of these individual projects, which will reflect critically not only on how work and the labor movements is understood in participants' own lives but also represented and understood in the course readings. While there is a fair amount of reading to be done in this class, this is primarily a course that supports and extends students abilities to express themselves in writing.
