You will also learn how you can legally use other people's IP, as well as what your own rights are.

WRT 400: Selected Topics: Rhetorical Listening and Composition
TTH 12:30-1:50 (29439, M001)
Patrick Berry
Have shallow public debates become the norm? Even if everything is an argument, how can we deepen our engagement, question our assumptions, and develop writing that is ethically and culturally responsible? In Rhetorical Listening and Composition, we will explore how “listening” was erased from the study of rhetoric and writing, how it became something that we do rather than something that we learn to do, and how it might be reconceived as a much-needed twenty-first-century literacy skill. The course is designed to help you develop a historical and theoretical understanding of rhetorical listening. You will partake in inquires (using a range of media) that urge cross-cultural dialogue and attend to how issues of class, race, and gender can impact what we see, hear, and write. A central inquiry of the course focuses on a space that too often remains invisible in public debates, both nationally and globally: the prison-industrial complex.

WRT 413: Rhetoric and Ethics
MW 3:45-5:05 (30733, M001)
Kevin Browne

WRT 422: Studies in Creative Nonfiction: Stranger Than Fiction
MW 12:45-2:05 (14121, M001)
Minnie Bruce Pratt
Hidden facts and unspoken truths are sometimes "stranger than fiction." How do we write believably and convincingly about those complex realities? Students will focus on reading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) creative nonfiction (CNF) as a genre used to answer that question. Students will focus their writing on themes of bodies, genders and sexualities. CNF is particularly congenial to students writing from multiple perspectives, complex bodied identities, varied ethnicities and nationalities, several sexes or sexualities, multiple or trans gender experiences and layered locations and/or languages.

WRT 422: Studies in Creative Nonfiction: Writing with a Sense of Adventure
TTH 11:00-12:20 (16462, M002)
Eileen Schell
Classic nonfiction adventure stories often involve feats of endurance, travel, risk, and exploration. But what does adventure writing mean in a world that is increasingly tame, settled, and steeped in the mundane? How is adventure a useful metaphor for understanding the nooks and crannies of everyday life? We'll work with an expanded definition of nonfiction adventure writing to include the fantastic and the unusual, but also the everyday and familiar, focusing on memoir, profile writing, the biographical sketch, and multi-media writing.

WRT 422: Studies in Creative Nonfiction: The Lyric Essay
MW 5:15-6:35 (30139, M003)
Ivy Kleinbart
What is the lyric essay? Some say it's where poetry and nonfiction meet; it weaves memory and observation with research and reflection; it invites experimentation with form, movement, and style. Others say there's no such thing as the lyric essay--the traditional essay is plastic enough to accommodate essayists' most risky moves. In this course, we'll go in search of the lyric essay. We'll explore its possibilities and consider its hotly contested status within the literary world. Students will compose researched memoirs and literary journalism pieces in the form of lyric essays. Expect to write 4-5 pp. per week.

WRT 424: Studies in Writing, Rhetoric, and Identity: Working Rhetorics: Labor and Identity
TTH 2:00 (29440, M001)
Lois Agnew
Most children know that the appropriate answer to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is not a description of personal traits, but the name of a specific career: firefighter, doctor, teacher, or nurse. In this course, we will interrogate the link between work and identity that this question assumes, as well as exploring how the connection between our work and our identities is rhetorically constructed in other types of social interactions. We will begin by reading historic arguments about the relationship between work and individual expression, consider how contemporary social conditions support or challenge that ideal, investigate how class, gender, and race shape the working identities that are available to particular people, and explore ways in which our vocational aspirations shape our conceptions of our own emerging identities. During the semester, you will assemble a portfolio that includes weekly blog entries, short analytical and reflective essays, and a major project.
