TRAVEL WRITING
From school assignments to report on summer travels, to the most esoteric accounts of Egyptian or Mayan discoveries, travel writing comes in many forms, all to be encouraged.
If history is geography, the lure of travel writing is universal and enduring. Ideally, it piques our curiosity to want to wander the world, even if from an armchair.
I propose to use readings from Herodotus to Ryszard Kapuściński to Dervla Murphy to Gérard d’Aboville to take us on land and sea from 500 BC to the present. Each participant will the opportunity to write something in class.
