Advanced Writing Projects in the Arts and Popular Culture

Catalog description

This advanced course in writing about the arts and popular culture (interpreted broadly) is limited in enrollment and focuses on a semester-long project that each student defines in consultation with the instructor: most typically, a lengthy feature (6,000+ words) of the sort that regularly appears in the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine or Rolling Stone, but other approaches to the project will be considered. Ideally, students will have already taken Writing about the Arts and Popular Culture, but that is not a firm prerequisite and other students should absolutely feel free to consider this course.
