Description

The Creative Writing and Literature major, sub-major and minor combine critical engagement with literary theory with a complementary exploration of creative writing techniques across a range of genres such as fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, auto/biography, essay, and plays.

Students will examine the interplay between writers, readers and the text and the ways in which it is possible to question the social construction of knowledge through literature. As observers and participants in various cultural contexts, students will produce their own creative and analytical texts which exhibit an understanding and challenging notions of narrative, genre, and canon.
