ENG U313 - Advanced Writing in Education

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Provides instruction in writing for students considering careers in education. Focuses on representations of teachers and students and their work together as these are portrayed in narrative genres such as memoirs, classroom ethnographies, case studies, and biographies. Drawing on recent critiques of such genres in the humanities and social sciences and on their own academic histories, students analyze the textual and rhetorical choices by which such narratives produce, rather than merely reflect, the meaning of schooling and thus argue (explicitly or implicitly) for particular educational values, identities, practices, and purposes. In a writing workshop setting, students plan, write, critique, revise, and present accounts of their own independent critical research.
