Title: Writing Across Cultures
Course Section Number: HSP-270-01
Department: Hispanic Studies
Description: This course explores writing and communication across cultures, languages, and communities, with particular attention to the intersections of English and Spanish. Students will engage with diverse forms of written and oral expression, including personal narratives, creative nonfiction, poetry, oral histories, interviews, and digital storytelling. Through intercultural writing, storytelling, and community engagement, students from different academic backgrounds will examine how language shape's identity, memory, belonging, and cultural understanding. Emphasizing bilingual and multilingual perspectives, the course encourages students to gain awareness of various forms of expression while developing their voices as writers and communicators. Community-based learning experiences, including collaborations with the Crawfordsville Adult Resource Academy (CARA), will connect classroom discussions and writing practices with the lived experiences and stories of the broader community.
