Department of English

Engaging with literature in global contexts

Creative Writing at GW

The English Department at George Washington University includes one of the largest all-undergraduate creative writing programs in the U.S. Each semester between 400 and 500 students study the writing of plays, filmscripts, short fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction in small, 15-person classes. About half of these courses are at the introductory level, and appeal to students who face University requirements in the creative and performing arts or in writing in the disciplines, but the remainder are intermediate and advanced genre-specific workshops.

The instructors of these courses include half a dozen full-time, largely tenured or tenure-track, writers: Faye Moskowitz, Jane Shore, Maxine Clair, David McAleavey, Patricia B. Griffith, and (new in 2007-08) Herman Carrillo. A number of other writers teach in the program on a continuing part-time basis, including Thomas Mallon, Tammy Greenwood-Stewart, Bruce MacKinnon, Fred Pollack, Carly Sachs, Lisa Page, Sarah Blake, Paul Maliszewski, and (departing after this year) Dan Gutstein.

The program attracts about 80 students at any given time who are pursuing a minor field of study in Creative Writing, and there is a selective English and Creative Writing major for up to a dozen of the best students, who write a senior thesis in fiction, poetry, or drama under the close supervision of a full-time member of the faculty.

For more than 30 years, the GW English Department has hosted an annual visiting writer, the Jenny McKean Moore Writer in Washington. Some of the best-known names in American writing have taught with us for a year, including Amiri Baraka, Lucille Clifton, Carol Muske, Marilyn Hacker, Julia Alvarez, Tony Hoagland, Vikram Chandra, Gloria Naylor, Peter Meinke, and Cornelius Eady.

Starting four years ago, the GW English Department has hosted the World Literature Residency, funded by Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. These 2-4 week residencies have brought writers from around the world to GW to give lectures and readings, to meet with students in classes and informally, and to make presentations throughout the Washington area, at nearby schools and universities, at the Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, and elsewhere. Working with local embassies, we have hosted Githa Hariharan (India), Witi Ihimaera (New Zealand), Diana Bellessi (Argentina), and Nokuthula Mazibuko (South Africa). We hope this program will continue indefinitely.

Our partnership with the British Council USA over the past three years has included hosting a reading to celebrate the publication of the anthology, New British Poetry, as well as readings and classroom visits by British Council USA Writers in Residence at Georgetown University, Bernardine Evaristo, Diran Adebayo, and Courttia Newland.

Professor Uses AI to Teach Shakespeare and Critical Theory

Alexa Alice Joubin views it as her responsibility to teach students how to use ChatGPT responsibly, not as a shortcut. “In our inquiry-driven culture, we need to know how to retrieve information through queries,” Joubin said. “Further, democratic society needs good question-askers as much as good problem-solvers. Asking key questions helps to advance scholarly fields, and students develop editorial, curatorial and critical questioning skills that are employable skills and the foundation of civil society in an era of ChatGPT.”

GW Writing Center

A division of the university writing program.

The GW Writing Center offers free, peer-based support to students and faculty from across the university. Clients participate in one-on-one sessions with student consultants on their projects at all stages of the writing process. Our conversation-based approach helps clients strengthen their abilities as writers and become stronger editors of their own work.

The center welcomes undergraduate and graduate students at all levels, from all schools, as well as staff, and faculty seeking feedback on assignments and their own writing projects.

The GWWC is currently CLOSED for summer break.

We will reopen for booking on Sept. 11th and appointments will begin on Sept. 16th.

UW Requirement Details

• All entering first year and transfer undergraduate students are required to take UW 1020, which is a four-credit course.
• Students can take UW 1020 in either the fall or the spring semester. UW 1020 is occasionally taught during the summer.
• Neither AP, IB, nor any other test will exempt a student from UW 1020.
• UW 1020 is designated as a pre-disciplinary course: the goal is to enable students to write effectively in various contexts, within the university and beyond.
• Unlike some required GW and WID courses , UW 1020 cannot be counted toward the requirements of any major or minor.

Hybrid and Service Learning Formats

In addition to traditional classroom formats, some UW 1020 courses incorporate hybrid or service learning elements.

• Hybrid courses blend face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning to improve learning outcomes, with a significant portion of coursework completed online.
• Service-learning courses address a community need through direct or indirect service and community-based research.

“Former Senior Curator Arthur Wheelock visited our UW 1020 class at the National Gallery of Art, and I enjoyed having the opportunity to hear his insights on art history research and art from the Dutch Golden Age. Because of his long career and decades of experience, he was able to give us advice for our research essays.”
