Course Description

This course provides an introduction to Writing Studies as a field of inquiry and practice. Students will explore the intellectual orientations, practices, and epistemologies of Writing Studies through key concepts such as rhetoric, literacy, genre, multimodality, identity, and creativity. Together we will read a mix of foundational and contemporary scholarship, practice writing as inquiry, and develop a critical awareness of how writing functions in academic, civic, and online contexts.
