Section Info:
Writing Studies I: An Introduction to Theory, Research, and Practice - 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 such issues as how to study and engage with writing processes; the collaborative nature of writing and varied types of authorship; intersections of writing with other modes (reading, talk, visual representation) and varied technologies (paper, screen and other materials for production and distribution); the nature of specialized genres and genre systems; and situated forms of learning and pedagogy (whether formal or informal). This seminar aims at helping students to engage in scholarship in writing studies. Each student, for example, will select a journal in the field to present in class (and identify shared readings that illustrate the journal and relate to their own interests). Beyond common readings, participation in activities, and regular informal writing, each student will select, explore and write on an issue for a final project related to writing theory, research, practice, or pedagogy.
