Visitors from all backgrounds and all levels of English and Creative Writing experience are welcome and encouraged to explore these readings. Our topics range from requiring no prerequisites beyond a standard high school curriculum to advanced undergraduate subjects, and the content and pace is tailored to popular interest, with additional published works by award-winning middle school to university-age writers. We hope to provide not only a rigorous survey of material and syllabi, but also an appreciation of the elegance and diversity of writing, reading, literary critique, cultural knowledge, and interdisciplinary collaboration between storytelling and multiple other areas that our studies encompass. Furthermore, we aspire to encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds to consider majoring in or prioritizing English studies during their academic careers and throughout their lives.
An additional aim of this program is to serve as a suitable virtual replacement or supplement for the numerous summer youth writing studios, workshops, and college programs that may be inaccessible to those lacking prior training or a humanities background, or have experienced dissonance between racial/ethnic heritages and in-person classroom curricula and environments. Participants will join a community of like-minded peers and college students, with social activities including blogging, virtual game nights, roundtable oral storytelling, and Q&A sessions with humanities undergraduates and invited guests on topics drawn from the following links. By building friendships and sharing the wonders of English, we hope to make these pandemic years more fulfilling. In this modernized encyclopedia of literary trends, there's a little something here for everyone.
