About This Course <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How does language frame our perception of identity? In addition to introducing students to college resources, this course will explore interdisciplinary perspectives on the ways language shapes our sense of who we are, as well as who each other are. In order to do so, we will explore the cultural politics of terms we use to identify each other (and ourselves), as well as the discourses we use to signal heritages and affiliations, out loud and on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Will We Study?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The majority of our course texts come from scholars, writers, filmmakers and performers focusing on a wide-array of marginalized, diverse identities and linguistic experiences in the United States. We\u2019ll dive into a mix of research articles, memoirs, poetry\/spoken word, and creative nonfiction, as well as blogs and spoken word performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will practice writing multiple genres, including formal emails, summary-response papers, exploratory essays,  and reflection writing, but coursework will also include active participation in collaborative annotations, small, in-person group work, full-class discussions, and informal journal responses. You should also expect lots of writing and multiple revisions, peer feedback, and small-group or individual conferencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Take this Course?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of the class you should become more familiar with the resources UWB has to offer, and expand your understanding of your own ways with words and your many identities. And long the way, you will hopefully discover that there\u2019s more than one way to own language <\/em>and yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
