Description

Thesis Composition: Expanded Forms is an opportunity for students to explore modes of writing that are proximate to and resonant with their thesis projects. Working closely with Professor Coburn, each member of our intimate cohort can experiment with any number of applicable forms including but not limited to poetry, autofiction, autoethnography, script writing, ekphrasis, and creative nonfiction. Whatever path a thesis paper takes, it will begin with an introduction that situates the writing within art-historical and/or theoretical discourses. Prerequisite: Must be enrolled in the Low-Residency MFA Program.
