Synopsis
Want to learn how to write and think in your pyjamas? Seán Kennedy's "Introduction to Composition" course teaches us how to write and how to think. The wager is that to write well means to think well; to write critically means to think critically.Course Overview
Kennedy will use local visionary Sue Goyette's latest book, Future Howl, as their course text. "Future Howl is a complex, exacting achievement," Kennedy has said. "It is obscure, resistant and resilient. It demands careful thought and patient consideration. To unravel its secrets, we will study aesthetics, psychoanalysis, liberal colonialism, liberal fascism, ecofeminism, posthumanism, formalism, Alice Munro and wolves."
