ENGL 2040 - Intro to Writing Studies

Credits: 3

In Intro to Writing Studies, you will explore what it means to enter an emerging discipline, Writing Studies, as a knowledge-maker yourself. In other words, in this class, we will approach writing as an activity, something you do, but also an object of study. Writing Studies represents a multi-disciplinary approach to writing, one that considers writing as a social, linguistic, and rhetorical practice. Broadly conceived, it studies theories and practices of writing, and how writing functions in the world. This course explores multiple approaches to the study of writing, and will require you, ultimately, to articulate your own working definition of Writing Studies.
