Overview
The Writing minor will introduce you to a range of writing practices in the context of communication and media studies, cultural theory, and literary studies. You will become familiar with conventions and experimentation in various writing genres, especially prose forms, and gain appreciation for the various techniques associated with them in their contemporary production. Upper-level units offer the opportunity to reflect critically on, and consolidate, your own writing practices as you apply the skills and techniques you have learned in individual and collaborative projects. The emphasis throughout the minor is on writing not only as a means of self-expression and professional communication, but as a craft that clarifies our individuality and creativity through exploring possibilities and innovations afforded by writing.
