World Building will introduce students to the concept of "world-building" - the process of constructing an imaginary world across a variety of disciplines, such as literature, poetry, music, film, television, and games. Students will analyze examples of effective world-building and experiment with different techniques for discovering and developing them. Students will also explore fundamental aspects of world-building such as the manner in which a civilization organizes itself from governmental, economic, cultural, and socio-political perspectives, as well as how our cultures and communities operate so that they may create fictive worlds that operate in a logical, coherent, and consistent fashion.
