WRC 7716 - Advanced Thesis Seminar

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

This course will support thesis work in any imaginative genre-poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and multi-genre works. Except for a few short reading responses, the writing assignments will focus entirely on students' thesis work in progress. Students will engage in deep revision and will discover means toward electrifying language, toward making their work more urgent, subtle, concise and robust. Each class session will be divided into writing process/thesis support and writing exercises directly focused on participants' own work and the themes of the day. Although students will sometimes be sharing parts of their theses, this course is not a workshop. The goal of this course is to support the development of a book-length project and to help participants to find their deepest subject matter and aesthetics.
