Expanded Course Description
| This seminar will examine conflicting approaches to generating the goals and processes of the teaching of writing. On the one hand, the rhetorical tradition and much rhetorical theory envision the goals of a rhetorical education as cultivating, over time, a certain kind of person with certain habits of mind, powers of judgment, and higher skills who can speak and write well in various situations and for various purposes. On the other hand, the contemporary teaching of writing must function institutionally by developing goals and curricula and pedagogy in relation to measurable outcomes and specific forms of assessment and addressing the strengths, weaknesses, and sheer differences in quite various populations of students—all in a matter of weeks. We will ask what a productive conciliation of these two approaches would look like. We will create a framework for this effort by studying key texts in ancient and contemporary rhetorical theory, by examining the capabilities approach in human development studies, and by sorting through contemporary institutional approaches to teaching and assessing writing. |
