688 - Women's Rhetoric and Feminist Pedagogy

688-01 M 18:30-21:20 - N. Myers

Two questions drive this course: 1) How do the genres of women's discourses restrict and support their rhetorical agency? and 2) How do theories of feminist pedagogies critique and extend the practices of the classroom? With a focus on genre, this course will start with three versions of The Women: Clare Boothe Luce's play and two movie adaptations (1939 and 2008). We will then explore across time the genres women have written within, the rhetorics they have embraced, and feminist theories tied to teaching. We will be dealing with film, poetry, short story, conduct books, speeches, essays, magazines, educational treatises, arguments for women’s ministry, pedagogical articles, etc.


697 - Composing Theories in Reading and Writing

697-01 T 18:30-21:20 - E. Chiseri-Strater

Reading Writing and Researching the Ethnographic Essay: From Auto-ethnography to Collaborative Community Ethnography

This course will focus on ethnographic methodological approaches such as feminist, collaborative and post-colonial fieldwork.  It will include ways of writing what is called the “new ethnography” as well as several ethnographic readings in literacy.  There will be some attention given to historical perspectives on ethnographic fieldwork. Participants will conduct a fieldwork study.  Some texts include: Ruth Behar’s Translated Woman; Luke Lassiter’s Collaborative Ethnography; HL Goodall’s Writing the New Ethnography;  Carolyn Ellis’s The Ethnographic I: A Methodological Novel and Shirley Brice Heath’s Ways With Words.
