Description:
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.Humble Pie, the literary arts journal of the Writing and Literature Program, showcases literary, auditory, and visual arts with a multilingual focus. Students in the class serve as editorial, marketing, and production staff, gaining hands-on experience in determining and publicizing the focus and scope of the issue, selecting written, auditory, and visual submissions, and designing an online version that may include gaming, PDF publishing, digital broadsides, and riso teasers for the print edition. Students will also write, design, and produce Season 5 of Humble Pie Radio, a hybrid format podcast. Students also plan and participate in a public journal launch, and have in the past hosted the monthly Hearsay reading series that brought undergraduate writers and local authors together for an evening. These experiences give students a diverse set of Professional Practice skills useful for publishing and connecting with others involved in the literary arts.
