Subject: [UPAC] English 306 - Advanced Composition Topics

Dear UA Advisors,

Below are two English 306 Advanced Composition courses with topics that should interest many students. These sections are offered Fall 2014. Students who have completed the first-year writing requirement are eligible to register.

ENGL306 Advanced Composition SEC 001 (33019) MW 3:00-4:15PM
Topic: Community Action and Public Rhetoric: Educational Inequality in Tucson
This class will mobilize publics, conduct hands-on research with communities, and collaborate with local high school students. Email Instructor Rachael Wendler at rwendler at email.arizona.edu<mailto:rwendler at email.arizona.edu>.

ENGL306 Advanced Composition SEC 002 (33020) TR 3:30-4:45PM.
Topic: Acting In An Uncertain World: Rhetoric & Risk Media in Science, Technology, & Medicine
This advanced composition course is situated at the intersection of rhetoric of science, science & technology studies (STS), and digital humanities. We will engage a wide variety of theoretical approaches (feminist, materialist, critical race, queer, etc.), and a core set of concepts from rhetoric and STS (genre, ethos, networks, translation, etc.) in order to frame student selected case studies through a vast collection of risk communication practices around science, technology, and medicine: oncology, vaccines, (cyber) security, financial crises, citizen science/DIY/hacker movements, bioterrorism, ecocide, climate change, etc. Each topic will be united by a focus on rhetorics of uncertainty/risk, media, and personal/collective notions of how to act in a changing, uncertain world. Student work will be comprised of reading/composing with academic & popular sources, visual artifacts, personal narratives, & digital media, in order to map risk through technoscientific controversies, design a research project with multiple methods, & collaboratively build a digital space on the rhetorics of risk (no prior computer programming knowledge required).

Thank you,
