Class Description
This course draws on theories of rhetoric and composition to explore the practices of academic writing. In it, students develop an understanding of what constitutes successful academic writing through readings from scholarship in rhetorical theory and grow as writers through the systemic revision and development of an academic essay. Throughout, students will be encouraged to understand and question the power structures embedded in genres of academic writing and to influence what it means to write, and to write well, at the university.
