From the instructor - Theme: Writing Biography. In this course you choose your own adventure and create a biographical writing project based on self-directed research. At the beginning of the course, each student will propose a person to research, as we learn about the history, genres, and ethics of biographical writing. Much of this course is dedicated to biographical research, and learning scholarly and journalistic research methods. During the last four weeks of the course, students will draft, workshop, and revise a long-form piece of research-based biographical writing. The curriculum is designed to facilitate flexible coursework throughout the week, so that you can learn at your own pace and develop skills for self-directed research.
