LSU Feature Writing

Pandemic and closings. Racial tensions and police killings. Sexual harassment investigations on campus and student anger. Fake news and mistrust.

​

When LSU students in a feature-writing class in the spring of 2021 were asked to report and write a first-person experience tied to the news, there wasn’t a moment of writer’s block.

Emotions and words flowed. The result is a time capsule of their anger and fear, their worries and dreams in this extraordinary moment. Each offering is personal and deeply felt. It shows in their writing.
