Course summary
For those with some experience of writing creatively, this inclusive and supportive class offers an opportunity to learn more about the history and diverse forms of resistance literature. Students will learn from the texts of artists voicing their resistance to a wide range of personal, social and political issues through the ages, and will join their legion by collaborating on a class ‘zine’ and developing individual pieces based on ‘resistance’ topics of their own choosing.
