This intensive two-week course will introduce students to the role of public intellectuals through the ages and give them hands-on experience working with a professional editor in writing opinion pieces. Taught by Bard College professor and Wall Street Journal “Global View” Columnist Walter Russell Mead and Allison Silver, consultant to NBC News Think, whose long and distinguished career in opinion journalism includes leadership editing roles at Reuters, Politico, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times Sunday Review, the program combines a full week of intensive writing workshops aimed at helping participants learn to devise and shape opinion pieces with readings and discussions about the role of the public intellectual, the relationship of academic work and public advocacy, career management, and the nuances of writing for both domestic and international audiences.
