ENG 240 Introduction to Writing & Rhetoric

What is a writer? What exactly do they do? And what counts as writing anyway? This course is an introduction to the histories, theories, and methods of writing studies and public rhetoric. We will read from a range of texts, interrogating issues pertaining to authorship, genre, non-standard literacies, digital composition, and language ideology. We will ask what is at stake when writing is considered both a communicative practice and a distinct object of study. [W]
