Writing Program | Other Voices

"A new engaging speaker every week!"

An Introduction to Diverse, Innovative, and Emerging Literary Cultures



This program supports the efforts of all students who are considering or entering literary studies. In the Spring semester we sponsor, along with the English Department, the Other Voices Lecture Series and coordinate the Other Voices course.

Explore the diversity of voices in literature and other media through guest lectures and small discussion sections. In the process, develop and express your own voice, find out more about the experience of your classmates, and get to know the research and interests of a variety of professors and departments on campus.

To enroll, add Other Voices through Telebears and attend the first lecture.

Course Control Numbers:


28219 (for freshmen and sophomores)


28459 (for juniors and seniors)

2 Units of P/NP credit

Mondays and Wednesdays 12-1*


Multicultural Center,
205 MLK Student Union

No prerequisites

Please note: You will need to reserve Wednesdays from noon to 1 for discussion section given that this time will not be set aside on your TeleBEARS schedule.
