ENGL 674 - Writing and Community


3 Credit(s)

Description:
This class explores the ‘public turn’ of literacy and composition studies - a movement that recognizes and engages with literate activity occurring beyond the academy: in community centers, in homes, in the streets, and in other alternative spaces for rhetorical education and literate practice. This course will prepare students to develop thoughtful pedagogies that engage with public writing and community literacy. To support and practice literacy research and activism outside of the university classroom, and to gain a deeper understanding of the intersections between literacy and composition studies. Whenever possible, a sustained engagement project with local community partners will serve as a touchstone of the course.
