WRTG 310: Collaborative Writing

This course provides opportunities for writers to explore how their work might be informed and transformed through practices of collaboration. Through an array of approaches and techniques, the generative potential of collaborative writing will be explored in an art and design context. This course challenges the notion of writing as a solitary pursuit, and makes space for students to learn participatory techniques from places where collaborative writing routinely occurs including galleries, artist-run centres, design contexts, writing rooms and other contemporary work places. Considering writing as a social act, this course is designed for students who want to connect with other writers to transform their writing and making practices.
