This course is for graduate students who want to develop skills in the practice of public scholarship. The class will be project-based, relating to the overarching theme of debt. Debt is a capacious concept, with many specific forms, such as student debt or climate debt, and just as many remedies, from reparations to cancellation. During the semester, each student will develop a writing project that explores debt from an angle of their choosing. Collectively, we will build an editorial project designed to enhance public engagement around the problem of debt, informed by research on a variety of topics, across disciplinary specializations and fields. Course readings will focus on exploring our theme and on the history and current media practices of critical publications.
