Limited to 15 students. Fall semester section 01: Lecturer Sweeney. Fall semester section 02: Visiting Lecturer Stinson. Spring semester: Professor Myint.

Writing About Home

Home is where we live in every sense, but "home" is more than the physical structure we reside in: it is also the psychological, societal, emotional, and even the mythical. In this course, we will read a variety of fiction and non-fiction and explore the importance of space, be it physical or metaphysical, as well as the construction of home. We will consider how these terms (whether we accept them, shun them, or experience them via travel and immigration), dictate to us and others a sense of self and identity via our own writing.
