Examining the Self and Society Via the Essay

Section 64995

  • Note: This course is being offered in conjunction with the USC Dornsife Prison Education Project. This class aims to create opportunities for USC and students in-custody to learn from each other in a rigorous and collaborative environment. This course will focus on autobiography, and each week, students will be tasked with drafting a new chapter of their life stories. We will try to understand ourselves and our society through reading, writing, with an emphasis on writing as a process. Work between USC and students in-custody will be exchanged via electronic correspondence. For D-clearance please email Professor DeDominic at dedomini@usc.edu
