WRIT 146 SC - Academic vs. Creative Non/Fiction
In this course, students will have the opportunity to investigate the techniques and properties of academic and creative non/fiction writing while also assessing which forms and outlets best suit informed readerships and target audiences. Students will engage independent research on topical issues of personal or political interest, seek out the best outlets for these, then write (and workshop) academic and creative pieces related to their research. The objective of the course is to have students engage in and distinguish between forms of writing, gain confidence in them, and to pliably move between them as they seek to connect their interests with appropriate reading audiences. What distinguishes research from academic as opposed to creative non/fiction pieces? Where can autobiography
or personal experience intersect in such writing? What rhetorical strategies work best in sustained academic or creative non/fiction intended for informed audiences and invested publics?
