The Department of English has developed a series of interdisciplinary courses where writers can explore the connections between creative nonfiction and alternative media. These include innovative classes on video, radio, and photo essays, as well as seminars on digital poetics and environmental filmmaking and writing, each of which invites students to fashion what traditionally has been called a “text” out of composite media—words, graphics, photos, animation, video, and audio.
The hub for this interdisciplinary work is the Department’s media lab, a Mac-based recording and editing studio built around Final Cut Pro, ProTools, and Adobe Creative Suite—a place where a cross-culture of graduate students from English, the Nonfiction Writing Program, Cinema Studies, Art, Intermedia, Journalism, and the Writers’ Workshop come together to create hybrid projects.
