Writing for Nonprofits and Communities

Nonprofit organizations work on behalf of their causes and communities, and every year, nonprofits, as a whole, generate millions of dollars to fund this work. These kinds of organizations rely on a mix of financial resources to fund their work including donors, fundraising events, appeals to legislators, and grants. Given this reality, effective writing strategies are essential for these organizations, and they are often in need of effective writers to promote their work, write for grants, solicit donations, and educate legislators and the public alike. For students aiming to work in university and college settings, a working knowledge and understanding of writing for nonprofits/grants can be an important skill set to bring to their future workplaces.

Through readings, writing and analytic activities (including the examination of grant applications and sample writing materials from nonprofits), interactions with local nonprofit groups, projects, and guest speakers, students in this course will:

  • Gain an understanding of the goals and missions of non-profit and other community organizations. We will also consider the grant-writing activities undertaken by these groups.
  • Gain an understanding of the texts such organizations use in order to achieve their goals and mission, including an understanding of genres, conventions, rhetorical strategies, and writing processes.
  • Acquire and practice using rhetorical strategies that appropriately address the exigencies, audiences, and purposes non-profit professionals face.
  • Gain specific writing and communication skills that can aid you in nonprofit/grant activities for workplaces, grant activities, or volunteer work.
  • Make connections with professionals in the non-profit community.

ENGL 729 is open to juniors and seniors with an interest in writing and nonprofit work.  This is a writing intensive course.

Geoffrey Chaucer is one of the most famous poets in the English language - but why? This course offers students and overview of Chaucer's poetry, spending particular time on his masterpiece, "The Canterbury Tales".

Literary Modernisms: Return, Revolt, Recycle

English 773

This course, OFFERED REMOTELY, focuses on the art and literature of modernity, a literary period with contested boundaries. We will discuss experimental poets including T.S. Eliot, who sought to revitalize what he thought of as effete modern culture by looking backward to the past. We will read fiction by Virginia Woolf, whose experiments with literary form were also challenges to patriarchal institutions. We will read late modernists such as Kabe Wilson, a 21st century performance artist who recycles texts of high modernism and turns his gaze toward imperial culture. In class discussions, we will explore the cultural and geopolitical contexts in which literary experiments were made, including imperial expansion and contraction, the rise of fascism, world wars, struggles for suffrage, and struggles over national belonging. Additional authors of major focus will include: Claude McKay, W.B. Yeats., Chinua Achebe, Gertrude Stein, Monique Truong, Seamus Heaney, and poets and writers of WW1. 

This course satisfies a Post-1800 Literature requirement for English Department majors.

Cabin in the Woods

787 English Major Seminar The Cabin in the Woods M W 5:10-6:30. Online.

Professor Diane Freedman

            Beginning with Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854), this seminar will  explore the tradition of Walden in American life and culture, with a focus on selected literary works and literary practices clearly inspired by it. Active in-class discussion, some lectures, presentations, short response papers, and a final research paper. Authors from among the following: Thoreau, Louise Erdrich, Annie Dillard, Julia Corbett, May Sarton, Bernd Heinrich, Henry Beston, Ian Marshall, John Haines, Sue Hubbell, Anne LaBastille, Wyman Richardson, Cynthia Huntington, Tom Montgomery Fate, E.B. White, Lou Ureneck, and/or others. While the authors on our reading list almost all speak of literal houses or cabins in which they sought a writerly solitude, perhaps any absorbing book can be thought of itself as a cabin. Or solitary space. Or what you propose stands as such (a hammock? A train compartment for a traveling writer? a favorite restaurant booth?)

            What can emerge from a sojourn or several in cabin and woods, for author and readers? Though we will read almost exclusively prose, suggestions for other expressive outcomes are welcome in our discussions. Moreover, what thoughts of self, others, community, and/as environment emerge? What common styles and strategies of writing? How might gender, race, age, stage, location, time spent, weather/conditions, connected activities and the like affect that writing and the thinking? How do our authors and we variously come to understand nature, retreat, home, being-at-home, solitude, self-reliance, sustainability ?

            Further: Has each writer in turn honored the presumed memoir “pact”(in a work purportedly non-fiction or autobiographical poetry) of telling the truth to the best of his/her/their knowledge and ability?  How do we know? What messages and details come down to us about observing, understanding, interacting with, and advocating for nature or specific places and living things?  Why have there been so many of these types of books? What dangers are equated with a writer’s solitude and retreat from society, from technology, from institutions, from relationships?  (Think woman alone in the wilderness, think aversion, avoidance, denial, hermit, misanthrope, loneliness.)  Does time spent in a writers’ colony abrogate this myth or mission of the solitary writer? If, as E.B. White also asserts, Walden is not (as advertised) the simple and sincere account of a life in the woods but instead an account of a “journey into the mind,” and we compare other course memoirs with Thoreau’s, what can we then conclude about the role of reflection (or “telling”) versus action (or “showing”) in a memoir or “year of” account?  What can we conclude about the mind of writers insisting on writing about place and living, if only temporarily, at a sub-modern pace (while nonetheless assuming dissemination of the result of their experiment to those not similarly off the grid)? Questions or suggestions: Diane.Freedman@unh.edu. This course satisfies post-1900 and Capstone requirements requirements in the English majors (and the seminar requirement for honors in English) and can count towards Women’s Studies and/or American Studies majors and minors. Besides English majors and minors, this course is open to student in various Environmental studies or science programs and interested others and counts towards the Dual Sustainability major. WI.

This course satisfies a Post-1800 literature requirement for English Department Majors.

Additional Course Details: 

Women who behave badly in early drama take murderous revenge on their betrayers; manipulate their husbands; defy the wishes of their families; and deceive their communities. They also strive to choose their own paths in life, by whatever means they can, sometimes cutting truly frightening figures, sometimes showing admirable strength and fortitude.

Reading and viewing a variety of tragedies and comedies, including Euripides's Medea, Shakespeare's Macbeth, Aristophanes's Lysistrata and Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, we will scrutinize these women's actions and place them in their historical and social contexts. By examining women's roles in Ancient Greece, Roman Italy, and Renaissance and Restoration England, we will gain a sense of how these female characters' behaviors on the stage aligned with expectations in society at the time. What did it mean to society and to audiences of drama for a woman to choose her own marriage partner, or for her to reject the duties of a wife and daughter? And how do these women's dramatic actions help us understand our own actions more fully?

This course fulfills the pre-1800 requirement and the Capstone requirements for the Literary Studies major; it fulfills and upper-division course for Humanities; and it will fulfill the Capstone requirement for English Teaching. It is Writing Intensive. All majors are welcome.
