ENG 2806 - Gender, Writing & Rhetoric
In this advanced writing course, students apply threshold concepts of writing and rhetoric to examine how writing shapes our understanding of gender and how gender influences the writing situations we encounter. Students are invited to engage in academic writing and research as emerging scholars, exploring how concepts like “genre” and “discourse community” manifest in the writing they encounter in their diverse contexts. The course offers practice in effective library research, techniques of documentation (e.g. MLA, APA), and the sharing of research findings through multiple means (e.g. research paper, video, speech, social media).
