First-Year Seminars 110PC - Op-Ed: Politics/Culture/Arts

We will read and discuss current writing on politics, culture and the arts. Drawn from a variety of print and on-line sources (including The New Yorker, Arts and Letters Daily, and Bomb), subjects will range from literature, cinema, and art to international politics, crime, and celebrity culture. Using strategies and techniques learned from the readings, students will write essays and articles of their own.

Mount Holyoke first-year students only, by placement.
