Advanced Topics in Asian American Studies; Fresh Pages: Asian American Creative Voices Workshop
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
Is there a particular way to tell an Asian American story? Do our lived experiences as Asian Americans affect the kinds of stories we tell? In this workshop, we will explore how different Asian American writers have tried to tell their stories and develop our own voices. Focusing on the process rather than the product, the primary goal is to help you discover the vast possibilities open to you through your writing and practice craft. Of course, you will gain invaluable feedback from fellow classmates through writing workshops, which will be structured to be rigorous and nurturing, providing you constructive critique. This class is open to anyone who is passionate about exploring narrative techniques, writing their own stories, and looking to develop a keener editorial eye for their own work. Students enrolled in this course will be expected to serve on the editorial team of Fresh Pages Journal: reviewing manuscripts, offering feedback, and assisting with the editorial process.
