Exploration of contemporary travel writing and the genre it represents, creative nonfiction.

In addition to reading travel literature, students explore a variety of contextual materials online, such as articles, interviews, podcasts, blogs, and videos. A passport to virtual travel, the course examines a wide range of ideas about the world and the ways we live in it and develops one’s sense of global geography.
