COM 242 WI:Investigating Identity:Wrtg

Issues of race, gender, class, and disability and the ways these impact the teaching of writing are introduced. Students learn and contrast disciplinary conventions and features of academic genres to understand how embedded values inform writing style. Through exploring how tutor and writer identities are implicated in the tutorial and examining language from various sociolinguistic, multi-literacy, and translingual perspectives, students learn how to navigate differences to collaborate with writers in meaningful ways.
