Course Description
Summary
Who says you have to be disciplined to be a writer? After all, theorist Christina Sharpe writes in her book, In the Wake: On Blackness and Being, that undisciplined thinking can be waged as a weapon against the boundaries of traditional academic thought and practice. For Sharpe, being undisciplined isn鈥檛 about failing to be disciplined, it鈥檚 about aspiring to being unconstrained by disciplinary, social, and professional boundaries. Alongside a close reading of Sharpe, we鈥檒l design and explore undisciplined writing practices of our own, spending much of class time engaged in the act of writing. Students will keep writing journals throughout the semester where they鈥檒l record their ongoing experiences of both in-class and outside-of-class writing.
