CRWR 3500

This is an advanced course in writing for various modes of performance. Students will focus on writing stories that focus on social issues, marginalized groups (race, disability, gender, sexuality) or the environment, as well as explore issues of appropriation. Students will closely and critically read screenplays (or watch the films) and stage plays which have had a serious social impact and look at the way they are different from films and plays which simply reaffirm mainstream belief systems.
