Cabinet of Curiosities, Domenico Remps, c. 1690

There aren’t many classes about research out there geared to writer and artist types, so I set out to develop one with Morbid Anatomy. We’re calling it “Re-Enchanting the World Through Research.” The idea is not about enchantment in a literal sense, but about how research can deepen your connection to the world and help you create works that do the same thing for others. It’s about research that casts a figurative spell, not a literal one. We’re also covering the nuts-and-bolts aspects of research, like finding and vetting sources (well beyond what AI can reach), doing interviews, and keeping yourself organized. We’ll also talk about turning research into narrative. I would love it if you joined me! I believe that learning how to find information, and developing information literacy skills, is truly more important than ever.

New class dates to be announced soon — stay tuned!
