This Study Abroad course explores how writing is shaped by the land around us: not just by what we notice, but by the shapes, moods, and possibilities of the land itself. It focuses on site-specific writing, with on-location exploration of a particular country’s landscape and literature, e.g. Iceland, a country of extreme terrains that at times seems extraplanetary. Students will hone core creative skills in response to the ecological world and complete field-based reading and writing assignments as well as working with geologists or other scientists to learn about their research, and use their terminology to devise new creative work.

Offered: Not offered on a regular basis
