Stonecoast in Ireland Curriculum:
Curriculum
During each residency in Ireland, Stonecoast students participate in the following:
- Eight intensive workshops (each with a maximum of 5 to 6 students) that engage students in critical, supportive discussions of their own work and issues of craft, literature, and aesthetics. Workshops are tailored to the needs of the ten students attending each residency; sometimes, workshops have a specific concentration (advanced fiction workshop, poetry workshop, creative nonfiction workshop, or popular fiction workshop) and sometimes mixed-genre workshops are created (in which each student submits work in their own genre)
- Classes and panels by Stonecoast faculty on various writing-related topics
- Classes and readings by visiting Irish writers
- Readings by students and Stonecoast faculty
- Fifteen-minute “flash seminars” presented by students on Irish writers of their choice
- A day-long field trip to places of literary interest, cultural value, and spectacular beauty
- Conferences with faculty mentors to establish a study plan and sequence of readings for the coming semester. These are done by phone or email if the selected mentor is in the U.S. or one-to-one if the student and mentor are both in Ireland
- Social and literary gatherings that promote a sense of community among writers
