How do we transform our unique experiences into something universal about the human condition? This course will follow the typical workshop format, where we will discuss pieces of writing from our peers on a weekly basis. These peer-review discussions will be augmented by outside readings, with an emphasis on essays that bridge science and literature. We’ll do our best to accommodate any genre, although your instructor is best qualified to give feedback on fiction and nonfiction pieces.
