Additionally, you will design, prepare, and propose your own GLWC summer research project. Learn more here Questions? Contact Molly Beer
- English 344 Writing Workshop: (Fall 2022) In the final phase of the GLWC sequence you will craft your findings into literary journalism stories for general audiences. You will learn about writing (for text or audio), revising, and publishing in a collaborative workshop community of GLWC writers.

- RCSSCI 360.010 Social Science Junior Seminar, Interfaith Organizing and Social Justice
- (Winter 2022) This course takes a community-based approach to explore how religion and social justice combine, as people of various faith backgrounds and social identities organize around issues which get them fired up to make change happen. Through work with a community partner, the Interfaith Roundtable of Washtenaw County, we will gain firsthand experience with fostering interfaith collaboration, alongside our in-class discussions of social justice work and community organizing. We will work together to foster community-wide dialogues over issues which have tangible impacts on Washtenaw County and those who live there. Questions? Contact Ben Hollenbach
