Section Update · USC Schedule of Classes

Note: In this experiential learning course, students will write about their experiences as they travel from Los Angeles to Paris, France. In doing so, students will seek to improve not just their writing skills but also their critical thinking skills. As such, the course objectives are to 1) Analyze travel writing as a genre, its history, forms, conventions and audience expectations 2) Develop writing skills that apply to conveying place, people, transition and transformation 3) Engage cultures through writing across differences, paying special attention to diversity and the ethics of representation. Throughout the Maymester, travel and daily excursions will enhance these objectives as we read examples from the genre and visit the places about which many of the authors write.
