Hybrid Creative Writing at Stony Brook Southampton
Want to fight for social justice, protect our waters, and basically save the world? Then you want to RESIST! In this section of CWL 320, writers will boot up some blogs and take to the sea, to the beach, to the streets, and to sites of urban decay, writing along the way from immersive primary research and mini-primer lectures by special guests (some in person, some via Skype).
Write on location during an action-packed week in Southampton before returning home to independently revise your work and finish your blog. By the end of the term, you’ll have written five polished pieces and a reflection, created an original blog, joined a community of writers who RESIST, and learned how to unleash works of creative art to literally change our world.
