Course Aims | ||||||||||
“Travel Writing: Discovery and Experience” is an English course that will introduce students to the interdisciplinary theory and practice of contemporary travel writing. Beginning with a theoretical introduction to the genre, the students will explore the ways in which the history of the world has been discursively formed through travel literature. Combining a thematic focus (questions of identity, class, history, language) with discussions of forms, the course will engage multiple texts, leading students to think and write critically about the texts and learn how to produce their own versions of travel writing, based on their own lives and experiences. | ||||||||||
