This spring semester, OSU-Tulsa is offering a Hip Hop Poetics course that is open to students for credit and to the public as a non-credit option. The course will take place at OSU-Tulsa with a remote option available.

The public can register for the class at tul.catalog.instructure.com/courses/hip-hop-poetics--beats-rhymes-life.

Students should talk to their advisor and then register for the course in myOKSTATE.

Led by Quraysh Ali Lansana, the course will provide students the basic knowledge and tools to build a solid foundation in the history and culture of Hip Hop, including writing and experimenting in the foundational and groundbreaking aesthetics of hiphop cultural practice. We will also explore the history and contemporary public practice of hip-hop; as a music, art, cultural and political form and forum; from its conscious counter of hegemony to its inclusion and move into the center of popular culture. The significance and impact of Hip Hop aesthetic and contextual explorations in the U.S. will also be ascertained. Students will be able to identify and distinguish various forms and elements of Hip Hop lyrics, music and culture and will acquire the vocabulary to discuss the artist’s use of language and other relevant elements.

Flash Prose | Led by Cassidy McCants

6-week workshops, $225 to register

A piece of flash fiction is a story stripped down to its essence, usually consisting of no more than 1,000 words. In this generative course, we’ll study contemporary examples of flash fiction and nonfiction, and students will respond to writing prompts in order to create their own original flash prose pieces. We’ll practice saying more with fewer words; we’ll explore language and discover ways to push it to its greatest potential. By the end of the course, students should feel comfortable reading and responding to flash fiction. I also hope we’ll create a generous, nurturing space in which students feel eager to share their work. This will be a place for experimentation and practice.

Virtual Workshop | Data Bytes - Introduction to LaTex/Overleaf
Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021
3-4:30pm

Introduction to LaTex - LaTeX is a typesetting system for producing technical documents and is an important document standard in a number of disciplines. LaTeX gives authors more flexibility and control than other word processing software, but is less intuitive for first time users. This workshop will cover basic use of LaTeX editors, as well as an introduction to the markup language of LaTeX. Participants will gain a basic understanding of how to use LaTeX to create documents, how to write and format text, and how to format non-standard typesettings such as expressions, equations, and non-Latin scripts. We will use the free Overleaf LaTeX text editor, which does not require installing any software ahead of time.

Please note this is an online event. The online event URL will be sent to you in an email confirming your registration. Register at https://okstate.libcal.com/event/7474589.

Comedy Writing | Led by Michael Wright 

4-week workshop, $150 to register

As the joke goes: dying is easy, comedy is hard. The approach of this workshop is to help each writer discover their own style of humor, their genuine voice and approaches to developing material out of the voice. The workshop will be open to any form of writing; each participant will seek to complete a short comedic work by the end of the four weeks.
