ENG 204 - Introduction to Writing Fiction

Spring 2019: This course is one of five interlinked Memory Studies Courses*

Instructor
Parker

A workshop course in fiction writing, offered in conjunction with the Memory Commons (six courses in different disciplines, all focused upon memory and its operations). Two class sessions weekly: one meeting as a fiction workshop, and another with all six courses together, team-taught.

*Interlinked Memory Studies Courses
Five different courses that engage with phenomena of memory will link up once a week for common readings and discussions. Students will meet one day a week with their course instructor to engage in the discipline-specific study of memory. On the other day each week, students and faculty members in all five courses will meet together to compare and share different disciplinary and personal ideas about the study of memory; the creation and effects of memory; the representation of memory; and the social, cultural, and personal creative processes that make memory. Participating courses are:

AFR 320 / EDU 320 / SOC 320 (Kelly) Growing Up Jim Crow
CIS 292 / PSY 292 (Multhaup) Collective Memory
ENG 204 (Parker) Introduction to Writing Fiction
