Case Study: Testimony 

Elizabeth Rush's Testimony course was designed to introduce students to the act of writing creative nonfiction pieces about contemporary issues and to give them the opportunity to experiment with how to make those pieces accessible and relevant in our digital age. Students conducted interviews to explore how different people bear witness to profound political, social, and environmental change. Read about the project on the Digital Teaching and Learning site.
