Sydney, Australia

Travel Writing in Australia (Summer) is structured around a 12-day guided research trip on which students travel to small-town Australia from the ocean to the outback. While on the road, students will read and write as they travel and will gather a research portfolio for articles, essays, and creative pieces. Upon return to Sydney, class sessions and assignments will draw on students' research gathered while on the road.

Students have the opportunity to study and produce travel writing in both the creative and the professional forms of the genre.
