CAMS 278 Writing for Television 6 credits
TV is a very specific, time-driven medium. Using examples from scripts and DVDs, students will learn how to write for an existing TV show, keeping in mind character consistency, pacing, tone, and compelling storylines. Students will also get a taste of what it’s like to be part of a writing staff as the class itself creates an episode from scratch. Topics such as creating the TV pilot, marketing, agents, managers, and more will be discussed. Finally, general storytelling tools such as creating better dialogue, developing fully-rounded characters, making scene work more exciting, etc., will also be addressed.

ENGL 233 Writing Empathy/Writing Black Life 6 credits
At the end of the nineteenth century, amidst legalized segregation and widespread racism, U.S. black writers undertook radical experiments in literary art. We will read Charles Chesnutt, W.E.B. Du Bois, Pauline Hopkins, and Ida B. Wells, considering their strategies to inspire readers’ empathy and to shape new possibilities in black life. We will end by discussing how conceptions of empathy in our own moment influence black writing, in works such as Paul Beatty’s The Sellout (2015) or Danez Smith’s Don’t Call Us Dead (2017).

ENGL 267 Studies in Description 6 credits
Why do we describe things? Why do writers put so much care into their descriptions of objects and inner states? What authority do they draw from precise descriptive language? What is an “exactly perceived” detail? How do phrases carry sensory information? This class explores the power of description in capturing perceptions and making pictures of the world more felt. To understand the range of technical strategies involved in description, we will read and imitate the acute sensory visions of Basho, Issa, Hopkins, Rilke, and a range of American poets. Each week the reading will be a springboard for written exercises.
