Section Info:
Topic: Writing, academic argument, and disciplinarity Notions of academic argumentation have often been approached abstractly as matters of writing in certain formal ways in well-ordered disciplinary contexts. This seminar explores the theoretical and ideological underpinnings of such notions and alternative approaches grounded in more complex understandings of writing as literate and semiotic practice, of arguments as dialogic engagements, and of disciplines as rhizomatic accomplishments rather than governed territories. The seminar will take up work on argumentation (e.g., Toulmin, Gaonkar, Foss), science studies (e.g., Latour, Knorr-Cetina, Haraway), anthropology (e.g., Goodwin, Irvine, Lempert, Ochs), and writing/literacy studies (e.g., Prior, Miller, Wilder, Newell). It will sketch an ethnographic framework that offers a different approach to Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and challenges representations of argument in k-12 Common Core curricula. Students will identify and develop a final project that examines some key dimensions linking writing, academic arguments, and disciplinarity.
