Section Info:
This seminar offers an introduction to writing studies, an interdisciplinary field that emerged in the 1980s and explores the theory, research and practice of writing in any context (school, workplace, home, community). Across these contexts, the course will examine issues of writing processes; the collaborative nature of writing and varied types of authorship; intersections with other modes (reading, talk, visual representation) and with varied technologies (paper, screen and other materials for production and distribution); how discourses are stabilized and meshed in writing; specialized genres and genre systems; rhetorical contexts and practices; and situated forms of learning and pedagogy (whether formal or informal). This seminar aims at helping students to engage in meaningful scholarship in this field. In addition to common readings, participation in activities, and regular informal writing, each student will select, explore and write on an issue of interest in greater depth.
