ENGWRT 0600 - WRITING WITCHES, HARPIES & HAGS


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This multi-genre creative writing course explores three common literary archetypes of monstrous women: the witch, the harpy, and the hag. Our primary focus will be looking at how contemporary women, trans, and non-binary writers engage with these tropes, whether by expanding, embracing, or rejecting them. In their own writing, students will be asked to explore ideas of magic, power, rage, and ugliness across several creative genres.
