Title from title frames

While public intellectual essays don’t step outside personal reflection, they do grapple with social issues, often myth-busting popular beliefs. This style of writing is distinct from a portrait or lyric essay. Professor Cognard-Black demonstrates this difference through her own examples and those of well-known public intellectuals, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Salman Rushdie. You’ll learn how to trade superficial terminology and over-the-top imagery for clear, simple, and direct prose without losing the engagement and pathos-based emotional connection to your audience
