The field of writing studies has expanded in recent decades to include a much wider array of topics, indicative of the view that writing structures a good deal of our institutional and interpersonal exchanges. Over the course of the semester, we will read broadly to explore how work on writing engages a variety of ideas and disciplines. Students in the course will complete regular reading response papers, co-author a review essay, present on work-in-progress, and complete a research paper dealing with an aspect of writing studies. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
