Laura Murray

I have been happy to teach CWRI 271, "Writing the City," for the past three years. In this course students read published work in many genres and voices about cities past and present, near and far. They respond to these in dialogue with their own experience and imagination to reflect on the relationships between strangers and neighbours and friends, between languages and cultures and religions, between generations, between past and future, and between privilege and marginalization, between joy and despair, that characterize urban life.
