How can you contribute to efforts to foster a healthy and equitable food system? In this project-based course, you will be matched with a Bay Area community partner working on sustainability or food justice. You will develop public-facing communications to support their mission. Multiple genres are possible: you might create a podcast, a policy brief, video explainer, or a social media campaign. During this process, you will develop a range of writing and oral communication skills. You will practice project management, collaborative group work, and expressing yourself through new genres.

PWR 91KR: Scientific Opinion Writing

In a world where science influences policy as well as personal decision-making more than ever, what does it take to become an astute interpreter as well as writer of scientific opinion? In this project-based course, you'll start by exploring traditional science opinion writing genres--such as legacy newspaper opinion pages and JAMA Viewpoints--as well as how this writing differs from and for that matter complements "official" research. Then, you'll learn how to write and pitch a scientific op-ed on a topic of your choice to a real publication. We'll also take a close look at how emergent genres and media, such as science podcasts and TikTok videos, open up new possibilities for communicating scientific opinion.

PWR 91LF: The Art of Access: Disability, Creativity, Communication

How do assistive technologies like captions and speech recognition shape the way creators and audiences produce and consume digital media? In this course, we will investigate what constitutes "creative access" in the arts and in media. Students will collaborate with nationally-recognized disabled media artists who are reimagining what art can be when access is integrated into its aesthetics from an accessible digital video game character creator for non-visual gamers, to a digital media instrument for individuals who are bed-bound. Guest talks, artist-led workshops, and case studies will guide students through a self-designed project, such as a work of accessible media art or a curatorial proposal for an exhibition. This class provides a rare inside look into professional artist-designer practices and research, equipping students to critically engage in disability justice-centered communication, storytelling, and collaboration. No previous artistic experience or expertise is required. Course does not fulfill WR1 or WR2 requirement.

PWR 91NSC: Intermediate Writing: Introduction to Science Communication

With the growing impact of science and technology on our society, the need for communicating that science well has never been greater. But what is effective science communication? Is it ever ok to use jargon? Is it ok to say "I" in my research report? How do I communicate complex topics in simple, but accurate, ways? In this course, we will explore the variety of formats that science communication can take--from technical research papers on particle physics to children's books about genetics. We will explore how different audiences shape the way science is communicated, and we will develop a set of best practices for effective science communication. Students will then apply these strategies in their own science communication projects. Prerequisite: PWR 2 or its equivalent.

PWR 91RW: Ethnofuturist Rhetorics: Imagining the Future of Race (CSRE 91RW)

In this project-based course, we will explore ethnofuturism, a rhetorical movement to imagine the future of race relations in our society. We will engage with and analyze various narrative forms (such as films, stories, comics, virtual reality projects, and science writing) produced by authors, artists, and creatives like W. E. B. Du Bois, Derrick Bell, Octavia Butler, Ken Liu, Bao Phi, Wenuri Kahiu, Lisa Jackson, Grace Dillon, Marjorie Liu, and Sana Takeda. Our goal will be to explore how these narratives envision the future consequences of existing racial systems and imagine alternative possibilities for societal race relations.
