ENG 250.  Writing Genres:  The Essay 2.0

An exploration of the essay genre in the digital age.   What is an essay? How has it been defined at different historical moments?  What possibilities and opportunities for essay writing are emerging in the digital environments currently available to us as 21st-century writers?  We’ll read a range of essays from early to contemporary examples of the genre.   Writing projects will include a podcast and a digital essay on topics chosen by students, as well as shorter assignments responding to the reading and our class discussion.
