    This course is a workshop in creative writing. Students acquire basic knowledge in the practice and evaluation of poetry and fiction, as well as in the use of literary vocabularies and techniques. Literary models will inspire and direct students’ own creative writing and inquiry into the relationship between form and content and between critical and creative thinking. The discipline of creative writing as a field of art, one continuous with other arts, will be stressed in the course by focusing on the process of creativity and procedures for generating new writing. We expect students to experiment in forms and to explore the genres of fiction and poetry, including the ground between them. We also encourage students to find forums and audiences for their creative work by editing and printing small collections of writing and by reading, exhibiting and performing their creative work.

    This course introduces the social science fields of criminal justice and criminology. Every person is impacted, either directly or indirectly, on a daily basis, by the practices and policies of criminal justice systems. The course meets the Social Sciences requirement for Knowledge of the Disciplines because it emphasizes how criminologists acquire and share knowledge about the world. We examine the use of theoretical frameworks in the study of crime and justice-behavioral, psychological, biological, sociological, political and historical- to pose and address questions about contemporary issues and problems including race, class and gender disparities in arrest, prosecution and sentencing of offenders, sentiment and policy regarding punishment/rehabilitation and the potential for alternative solutions. Through the examination of research on such topics, students become familiar with the process of research and acquire the ability to critically evaluate the design and results of the research including resultant policies.
