Course Details

In partnership with the Calderwood Foundation, UW Honors has launched a new series of seminars designed to foster high-caliber undergraduate writing for non-specialist audiences. This Calderwood seminar, organized in a workshop format, will focus on learning to write cogently about the Middle East. Participants can come from any discipline. Background knowledge is welcome, but most important is a willingness to engage in thoughtful and rigorous inquiry into the history, politics, literature, and culture of the Middle East, broadly defined.
