Description:

The notion of “seeing in common” takes social life as a crucial basis for how we encounter our mutual present, our distinctive and overlapping histories, and our collectively imagined futures. As creative persons who find ourselves together in shared space and time, imagining, experimenting, and making new work, we come to shape our plural forms of life alongside and with the help of friends and strangers. With materials common to us all, we'll work at voicing and fielding questions, navigating common concerns over our hard-to-grasp world, and finding ways to recognize and realize our beneficial interdependence. Student writing, putting shared resources into play, will move toward a final project devoted to each student's focused area of study.Writing 2 continues the work begun in Writing 1 on strengthening students' ability to write, read and discuss at the college level, with emphasis on literary and visual analysis, and research and argumentation skills. The course will revolve around a specific theme selected by the instructor.
