Writing & Rhetoric 2: Contemporary Mythic Thinking: Regenerating Alternative Futures

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. This course takes as it theme ancient world myths and questions what they have to tell us about our current world? What do these stories say about AI, Genetic Engineering, Climate Change, and Social Justice? Using Contemporary Mythic Thinking (CMT) we'll ask how does the difference of old perspectives offer us fresh takes on the new?
