ENG4020-01 Spring 2025 - Neal

In this section of Rhetorical Theory and Practice, we will focus on contemporary rhetorical issues surrounding composing in the digital age. Students will produce texts in a variety of media and genres that reflect the ever-changing literacy practices of writers and reading publics (including but not limited to the use of generative AI), the development of new media through digital editing and publication, and how composers construct and negotiate various and contested identities. While this course includes academic reading and discussion of key concepts, the primary content of the class is the production of rhetorically informed digital texts. Students will complete four projects: a multimedia essay, a podcast, a digital video, and a remix project.
