Creative Writing as Social Practice (B.A.)
This Bachelor's program focuses on Creative Writing as a Social Practice, blending artistic expression with social engagement. You will learn to see writing not just as an individual act, but as a powerful tool for shaping identities, fostering relationships, and critically examining societal dynamics. The program emphasizes collaborative writing processes, community building, and the development of inclusive narratives.
Through workshops, artistic projects, and collective writing, you will gain practical experience in initiating, guiding, and facilitating writing processes. The curriculum combines foundational knowledge in community building, collaborative creativity, and critical language use with in-depth studies of creative writing methods, theories, and research. This interdisciplinary approach ensures a dynamic dialogue between academic learning and the practice of writing as a social art form.
Graduates are prepared for diverse career paths where writing brings people together. This includes developing and leading collaborative writing projects, facilitating workshops in social institutions like schools or senior centers, engaging in cultural work, and applying creative writing in therapeutic or rehabilitative settings.
