Whether literary journalism, memoir, essay or hybrid forms, creative nonfiction is the vehicle genre that allows us to bring the worlds we inhabit into the worlds we build. In this workshop, students are encouraged to explore complex social issues (including, but not limited to considerations of race, class, gender, disability, climate and the anthropocene, war, displacement, colonialism, etc.) and are challenged to think beyond the typical constraints of nonfiction prose in order to embrace ambitious and innovative narrative approaches. We will read and discuss the works of published authors, including Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah, Eula Biss, Alison P. Davis, and more. All forms of nonfiction, including hybrid forms, are welcome.
