      College Writing: Place and Perspective

      Place & Perspective is a writing course featuring readings on the subject of our environments, whether social communities, physical spaces, or even virtual realities. We’ll study our local community, from perspectives in our classroom to the wider conversations across the St. Louis region as we discover and write about our surroundings. We’ll foreground diversity in both in our class conversations and the writers we’ll read, from issues of inequality to concerns of access and the responsibilities of citizens.
