Where R We? Place-Based Writing to Explore Identity and Community Formation

Rutgers Students are invited to consider “Where R We” by partaking in place-based writing across multiple locations on our Rutgers-New Brunswick campus. Foundational readings of the course will encourage students to consider the role of identity formation alongside physical communities of belonging. As we explore different places and their interdisciplinary connections, students will begin their own research process using primary and secondary sources and in-situ observations to develop a deep and complex knowledge about the role of place in their personal identity and community formation.
