Literary Journal, an upper-division Writing & Literature workshop, introduces you to the literary journal as an object of study and as an editorial experience. All literary journals reflect an underlying passion to amplify their contributors' talents. Similarly, at CCA, our undergraduate-produced journal "Humble Pie" is embedded in the belief that self-expression is critical to a vibrant community. In our class, self-expression is also an important motive for writing. Students write memoir in an encouraging environment, developing your voices as storytellers and talents as writers. At the same time, as staff of our undergraduate-run print publication, students are responsible for decision-making. Students create, edit, and distribute marketing materials seeking talent. Students write opinion pieces and exchange professional letters, to practice respectful editorial communication. Students individually evaluate the journal's submissions then decide, on teams, which work to accept. Students design a print publication by working together on each component. Our staff has increasingly emphasized multilingualism to reflect the breadth of CCA's communities, so translators have opportunities throughout the semester. Although students are empowered to make collaborative agreements and choices, you have in-class support from the Professor, the journal's Faculty Adviser and Managing Editor since Volume 20. With her you'll deepen your analytical and creative skills, expressing yourselves through the written/spoken word while strengthening your editorial capacities. Literary Journal is ultimately a celebration of the written and visual arts at local and international scales—with a focus on CCA student, faculty, and staff talent, present and past—yet it also prepares you for future opportunities in writing, print design, art design, cover design, translation, and publications.LITPA 3000 courses are advanced seminars in which students will critically read and assess different genres, period and traditions of literature or the performing arts through multiple lenses. Frequent reading and writing assignments will be made.
