2 events,Workshop Dates: Mondays (7pm to 9pm) – 15 May, 22 May, 29 May, 5 June Thursdays (7pm to 9pm) – 18 May, 25 May, 1 June, 8 June Saturdays (9am to 11am) – 20 May, 27 May, 3 June, 10 June In this introductory creative writing course, we will immerse ourselves in the art of the short story. We will discuss the different elements involved in writing within this genre—plot, characterization, point of view, setting, theme, style, as well as more abstract notions: what is a writer and why does he or she write? What is the moral responsibility of art? Who are we in relation to the spaces we inhabit? We will read the works of writers from all over the world and use these works as a foundation to cultivate our own literary visions. We will study the texts for lessons in technique and craft, investigating the decisions that we (as writers and readers of literature) must make to develop a finished piece. This course is an invitation to inquire deep within yourself and to own your identity as a writer in your world. Our hope is that each one of you, through the reading, writing, and sharing … Seven USP students, together with NUS and Sciences Po students, will participate in a two-week undergraduate intensive non-credited seminar led by Dr Mark Brantner. Under the theme “Rhetorics of Food”, the programme brings the ancient art of rhetoric into contemporary Asian and European settings to help students understand how to communicate across national, cultural, ethnic and linguistic differences. Students study for one week in Singapore and one week in Reims, France. |

3 events,Student-led and in its third year, the Asian Undergraduate Summit (AUS) 2017 themed “Leadership in a Complex World: Disruptive Change in Everyday Life” started a month ago with the foreign legs in China, India, Thailand and Indonesia. The Singapore Leg will continue the discussion on disruptive change and innovation.
