Course Description: “Those who tell stories rule the world.” Creative writers often play second fiddle to STEM, yet those who write are the ones telling us what it means to be human when science and technology threaten to dominate us. This course dives into the craft of writing literary stories with an underlying belief that storytelling is the most powerful tool humans have to change minds, build bridges, and create empathy – in short, to be fully human. What mirrors do Margaret Atwood and F. Scott Fitzgerald hold up for us and how can we use our talents in similar ways? The exploratory workshop nature of the course encourages students to find their voice and unearth the stories they have inside them.
