Ukraine

Exploring Regional Histories : Ukraine at a Crossroads

Description

Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine has catapulted the region back into the international press.  In order to fully understand modern Ukraine, its politics, and the war in Ukraine today, it is essential to first make sense of its complex history.  Ukraine and Russia’s shared national origin story in the medieval state of Kievan Rus is slowly beginning to feature within attempts to understand the war in Ukraine.  The full picture, however, is far more extensive.

Poetry and the Body

Introduction to Poetry Writing: Poetry and the Body (online)

Description

This six-week creative writing course will introduce you to the body in contemporary poetry, inviting you to experiment and engage in how to discuss the body in your own writing. You will develop a foundation of skills for free-verse poetry, such as creating impact through line breaks, optimizing the aural qualities of word choices, and titling your poems.

This no-pressure course focuses on getting words down on the page. The emphasis will therefore be on writing exercises rather than critique, although the group may request time to workshop their poems if they wish.

 

Please note: if you select the staff or student price option, you must use an online store account that has been set up with your University email address and fill out your University staff or student ID number when prompted as part of the questionnaire data section.
