EN 190 E1 The Horror Story (with Jacqueline Morrill)
Contact instructor for course description.
EN 190 E2 Creative Nonfiction: Writing to Activate Wellness (with Christina Santana)
This course introduces creative nonfiction as a bridge between lived experience and public action. Students begin by writing reflective and research-informed essays that explore questions of wellbeing—reading and writing about themes such as burnout, resilience, care, purpose, belonging, energy, compassion, growth, fulfillment, connection, agency, and curiosity, among others—while studying how narrative shapes what we notice, value, and understand about human experience. Using narrative, reflection, and research, writers investigate lived experience without rushing toward conclusions, allowing complexity and perspective to remain visible before experiences are translated into claims or solutions.
The first major project is a polished creative nonfiction essay centered on a wellbeing-related question.
Midway through the course, we shift our attention to a broader category of writing used to make collective decision-making possible: grant writing. Such writing emerges when ideas move beyond reflection and must justify action, establish shared criteria, anticipate evaluation, and enable the allocation of time, money, labor, and permission among people who are not already aligned. To make this shift, students will translate narrative insight into applied writing and approach grant writing as strategic storytelling: articulating a vision, identifying need without deficit framing, and proposing responses grounded in lived experience.
The final project is a well-conceived grant narrative or proposal section developed from the essay’s insight.
For the practically minded writer, this course offers an organic introduction to grant writing: writing to secure funding for ideas, projects, and experiences that should exist.
