Writing the more-than-human world

January 9 - February 13, 2024, Tuesdays, 6:00-8:00 p.m (six sessions)

$290

In this multi-part, generative class, students will read essays and reportage about nature and non-human animals. The possibilities of this genre have expanded in recent years with writers approaching the non-human world from a distance, as well as a recent trend in incorporating our human selves into the narrative of animal experiences. We will discuss the purpose and goals of environmental writing, reading from writers like Sabrina Imbler, Ed Yong, J. Drew Lanham, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, and others. The latter part of the class will be devoted to generative exercises.

Access Program
We want our writing classes and Delves to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and Delve tuitions at a reduced rate. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available.
