University Town Writing Program (UTWP)

The Centre for English Language Communication is currently piloting an innovative writing program for the new University Town’s residential colleges, called the University Town Writing Program (UTWP). UTWP modules are content specific and taught in a small group environment.

This semester we are offering 9 modules:

  • Models of Press Freedom (WP2201B)
  • Mars/Venus?:  Gender & (Mis)Communication (WP2201C)
  • Writing in a Digital World (WP2201D)
  • From Human to “Posthuman” (WP2201E)
  • Globalization and Screen Media (WP2201F)
  • Language and Migration (WP2201G)
  • Eating Right(s): The Politics of Food (WP2201H)
  • Messing with Nature: Unintended Consequences (WP2201I)
  • Politics of Prizes (WP2201J)

We especially encourage you to apply if you say, “That’s me,” to one or more of the four statements below.

  • I want to make more sense about ideas that make only partial sense to me.
  • I want to work with ideas beyond those in my textbooks.
  • I want other people to pay attention to my ideas.
  • I don’t have to write extended papers for most of my modules, but I still want to be able to write well.

These modules are open to all first-to-fourth year FASS students and can be taken as Unrestricted Electives (UE).  During the current pilot phase of the program, students are refunded all their points except one when they bid for a UTWP module.
