Literature 2182 - Nonfiction Workshop:Writing Science

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

This is a course for science and humanities students who share a fundamental belief in the importance of science literacy. To laypersons, contemporary science is often impenetrable. They need clear, informative, and engaging explanations of contemporary work in science, particularly as these affect ethical and political decisions at every level of society. Students write about science in a number of formats: essays, editorials, feature articles, and book reviews. They also address the problems that inevitably arise when the search for voice confronts subject matter that is hard to simplify or explain. The course is limited to 15 students, who have each passed a lab and/or quantitative science course at Bard.
