WRIT 290: Writers Room Experience

InstructorS: Lauren Lowe & Carol Richardson McCullough
Meetings: Wednesdays
5-7:50pm

How can writing and storytelling empower us to build community? This experiential studio class is designed to help students develop a deeper understanding of the self in context with the world around them, cultivating the skills necessary to relate—and act—with others across differences. This year's course centers on local contexts in Philadelphia, with a focus the joint histories of Chinatown and Mantua, two deeply rooted communities facing parallel issues around development and displacement.
