Writing and Sustainability is a 3-credit course and is fully online and asynchronous in its format. This course looks towards sustainability as a concept and as lived experience to inspire how class members can write throughout the summer weeks, focusing on our own writing practices as sustainable, and on discourses of sustainability in writings of others and in other sites of conversation. Ideas, feelings, experiences of sustainability are all around us, and this course offers the opportunity to explore engagements and restrictions around sustainability, how it is conceived, and who gets to choose sustainability and who does not, in human and other lives. The emphasis will be on developing a process and practice of writing as sustainable, and we'll look together at how sustainability can inspire us to work with our writing to encourage flexibility, responsiveness, and resilience. Explores ways of explaining the relationship between writing, writing practices, and sustainability. Engages foundations of writing, discourses around the writer and sustainability, and introduces qualitative social science methodologies and their application in sustainability.
