ENG 5846 Spring 2023 Fiscus

This course is designed to familiarize graduate students with concepts on how race, class, gender, ability, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity have been theorized and how those theories are put into practice. Our course will focus specifically on inclusive pedagogy in the writing classrooms. Students will survey a variety of forms this effort has taken, including how different theoretical perspectives might make our classrooms a safe, welcoming, and joyful place for students. Along the way, we will consider how these pedagogies have implications for research and policy, asking ourselves questions like: Who have compositionists traditionally ignored? What can we learn from communities outside the academy about inclusive pedagogy? What role should Writing Program Administrators take in supporting inclusive pedagogy? How can we study the effects of these inclusive pedagogies and policies? How can the research, teaching, and service you do maintain, add to or change current perspectives?
