ENWR 1505 - Writing and Critical Inquiry: The Stretch Sequence

Offers a two-semester approach to the First Writing Requirement. This sequence allows students to take more time, in smaller sections and with support from the Writing Center, practicing and reinforcing the activities that are central to the first-year writing course. Like ENWR 1510, ENWR 1505-06 approaches writing as a way of generating, representing, and reflecting on critical inquiry. Students contribute to an academic conversation about a specific subject of inquiry and learn to position their ideas and research in relation to the ideas and research of others. Instructors place student writing at the center of course, encourage students to think on the page, and prepare them to reflect on contemporary forms of expression. Students read and respond to each other’s writing in class regularly, and they engage in thoughtful reflection on their own rhetorical choices as well as those of peers and published writers. Additionally, the course requires students to give an oral presentation on their research and to assemble a digital portfolio of their writing.

TR 1100-1215
Steph Ceraso

This writing-intensive seminar will focus on the connection between music and identity. We will explore our relationships to a wide range of music—from rap to indie rock—examining questions such as: How does music influence the ways we make sense of our personal and cultural histories? In what ways do our identities (race, gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.) inform our musical tastes and distastes? What does music have to do with writing? In addition to reading and writing about music, students in this class will learn to write with music. In other words, you will be incorporating music into some of the course projects, such as an autobiographical playlist and a podcast about the development of musical tastes. No previous experience with digital audio editing is necessary.

091 - Writing about Culture/Society - Writing Social (In)Justice
MW 330-445
Eyal Handelsman Katz

Imagine this: it’s Thanksgiving (or Hanukkah, or any social gathering with people who might not share your ideas). It’s perfectly pleasant (or not) and then – GASP! – someone brings up that topic. The one that always leads to an argument. And it does, and you argue but, afterwards, you are disappointed with how it turned out; perhaps you forgot to say something (or said too much). In this class we will endeavor to not be disappointed. To do so we will learn how to argue but, more importantly, how to think. Our writing will be a vehicle to our thinking. But how does writing relate to social justice? How can we use our writing to enact or advocate for social justice in our community? Since social justice is such a broad concept, in this course we will learn about it through the frame of critical race theory (CRT) and discover how activists, scholars, artists and more engage with racial justice, exploring issues like systemic racism, privilege, and intersectionality. This course will give you opportunities to think and write about the social justice issues you care about so that, when it ends, you are empowered to fight for the causes you believe in and never feel unprepared to discuss the topics that matter to you.

TR 330-445 (New Cabell 036)
Jim Seitz

In what ways can writing assist us in living our lives with passion and insight? How might writing help make us more observant, thoughtful, and curious? What qualities do we find in writing we most admire—and why? In what ways can the act of writing become more enjoyable and instructive? These are some of the questions we’ll address in this course. Be ready to share your writing with your classmates and to comment on what they share with you: student work will be at the center of our attention. We’ll read some published writers, but this is a course in which the writing produced by you and your classmates is what matters most. Writing assignments will be frequent, brief, and experimental. If you’d like to break away from the five-paragraph, intro-body-conclusion formula, you may find this course appealing.

003 - Writing about Identities - Writing Remorse and Repair
TR 1100-1215 (Bryan 334)
Tamika Carey

If the old saying is true and everyone actually make mistakes, then why are apologies so hard to write and why are some apologies more easily dismissed than others? This section of ENWR 2510 explores these questions about remorse and regret from an identity-based perspective to strengthen your methods for writing. Said differently, we will consider how class, race, gender, and other identity markers influence public perceptions of error and we will investigate how social expectations of the way regret should be expressed. By doing so, we will pursue the goal of this course, which is to cultivate and refine your analytical reading techniques, invention processes, composing practices, and strategies for revision and publication. Possible projects include short essays and a digital tracking project.

ENWR 2520 - Special Topics in Writing (4 sections)

001 - Rewriting Yourself: Literacy & the Brain - (This section is reserved for Echols scholars)
MWF 100-150 (Bryan 310)
Heidi Nobles

What do we know and what are we still learning about writing and the human brain? Literacy has dramatically reshaped the human brain over millennia. Yet as literacy itself evolves, we still lack satisfactory data on how writing (and its counterpart, reading) affects our neurology and cognition--and therefore, how literacy affects who we are as humans. In this reading- and writing-intensive course, we will read a range of work on literacy and cognition, including technical and popular treatments of issues such as reading and neural development, brain function during writing tasks, brain activity connected to other creative tasks, and more. We’ll read work from creativity experts, neurologists and cognitive scientists, psychologists, mental health practitioners, computer scientists, and professional writers and editors, all in trying to understand the relationship between literacy and our minds. Reading assignments will include 1-4 extended “read-in” activities; writing assignments will include a combination of creative, reflective, and research-based projects. By the term’s end, you should have an enriched sense of yourself as a reader and writer, and how your literacy practices play into your larger identity.

Note: This class welcomes students with multiple interests and backgrounds for interdisciplinary discussions about how reading and writing affect us all. Students with prior experience in or specialized interest in the brain will be able to dive deeper; students who are more inclined toward the arts and humanities can also expect engaging readings and lively writing assignments.

002 - New Media Sports Writing -
TR 1230-145 (Bryan 332)
Marcus Meade

This course is designed to help you practice (yeah, I’m talkin’ ’bout practice) rich, revelatory, and engaging sports writing utilizing digital platforms and technologies. Because sports media has become more expansive and complex over time, a wide-range of ways to do it exist. As part of this course, we will discuss different approaches to new media sports writing, their advantages and drawbacks, and we’ll practice with diverse genres and modes. Hopefully, this will provide you with some sense of the variety of ways good sports writing is done and provide you with a critical eye toward sports media.

But mostly, we’re going to have fun making cool stuff.

An accelerated speaking and writing course for Echols Scholars on the premed or science track. We will read broadly across subjects and genres, covering a variety of academic and popular writings in the fields of biology, medicine, and the social and physical sciences; and we will study closely the rhetorical mechanics of syntax and style, inflection and intonation, paraphrase, translation, and vocal notation. Projects include a team-translation, a narrative interview, a video teaching demonstration, and an expository lecture. Expect a steady pace of reading, writing, workshopping, peer-review, technical exercises, and improvisation.

ENWR 3640 - Writing with Sound

TR 200-315 (New Cabell 111)
Steph Ceraso

We are living in what the mainstream media has called “The Golden Age” of podcasts. Podcast listenership has almost doubled since 2008 and continues to grow steadily. But why? What is it about podcasts that makes people want to “binge listen”? What does audio offer listeners or creators that other modes of composition do not? This project-based course explores podcasting as a dynamic form of 21st century storytelling. Students will learn to script, edit, and produce their own compelling audio stories. In addition to reading about and practicing professional audio storytelling techniques (e.g. writing for the ear, serialized writing, sound and music design), students will collaboratively develop an original three-episode podcast series by the end of the semester. No experience with digital audio editing is necessary. Beginners welcome!

You will complete six substantial written assignments -- three narratives and three argumentative essays. For the narratives, you will be asked to use one of the modes of narration we have studied to tell a story. The narratives should be appx. 3-6 pages in length. (Longer is not necessarily better.) Each narrative will be written once, without opportunity for revision. For the argumentative essays, you will be asked to write an essay with a thesis and supporting textual evidence. Each essay should be appx. 4-7 pages long, but quality of writing, thinking, and argumentation are more important than length. The argumentative essays will be drafted, workshopped, and revised. In addition, you will learn some principles of composition, complete some exercises related to writing, and complete a library assignment.

MWF 1100-1150 (Bryan 334)
Michelle Gottschlich

D.I.Y. (or “Do It Yourself”) as it's known today, has existed for nearly a century. Taking hold in the post-war American suburbs, it has shifted dramatically through time—entering the iconoclastic punk era, Etsy mood boards, Soundcloud rap, Tik Tok videos, and more. What do these materials, scenes, makers, and movements have in common? Rhetorically rich and culturally fraught, studying D.I.Y. will get us thinking about how identities & ideas are baked into the “language” of things. Through reading, writing, analysis, and discussion, we will carefully reverse-bake these out to see what we really make of them. We’ll also practice what we study as artists and writers, and chat with visiting artists and writers about their craft. But perhaps most importantly, we’ll learn from D.I.Y. communities how to build supportive, inclusive, and non-judgmental creative spaces in which we can share our work (and ourselves) with one another.

What makes a place memorable? What meaning do we give to particular places? Whether they are familiar or foreign, places affect who and where we are. We share our location in messages and over social media with our family, friends, and the world to connect with others. We get homesick, missing people and even places; we get wanderlust and want to see the world beyond our little corner of home. In this writing course, we will explore the importance of the physical world around us: what makes a place important to us? How do we shape the environment and how does it shape us? How do places influence what we think about other people and ourselves? How does the language we use about a place affect our experiences of it? We will read, watch, and listen to how others describe places, we will discuss why those descriptions are important in each of those texts, and we will use those descriptions as models for our own writing. While the course materials will model effective communication, improving your writing will be our primary focus.

Over the course of the semester, we will look at representations of real and fictional places in text, in images, and on screen. We will explore how our cultures, identities, and technologies influence how we see the world and how the world affects us. Through writing about places, we will develop strategies for sharing our ideas in effective ways.

Marissa Kessenich

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
“May the Force be with you.”
“Why so serious?”

Whether it’s a movie you came across on Netflix, an old favorite, or a new release at the theater, film is a source of entertainment, identity, and knowledge. The range of genres and tastes—from comedy or drama, body horror or psychological thrillers, science fiction or fantasy, live-action or animation—means there is something for everyone to enjoy. Film helps us mark time and provides a frame of reference for talking about culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.

In this course, we will be writing about film and its influence on our everyday lives. We will watch several movies and read articles that critique and analyze film using different approaches. You will be asked to respond to these readings as well as write papers that demonstrate your own film analyses. This class asks students to think critically about film, considering questions like: How do movies shape our lives and influence our perception of the world and our place in it? How do our own experiences and identities inform our taste? What makes “good” film, and who gets to say so? Why does the film industry continue to be so influential? This class does not require extensive movie knowledge.

042 - Writing about the Arts - Adaptation: From Short Story to Feature-Length Film
MWF 100-150 (Shannon 111)
Nathan Frank

This section of ENWR 1510 examines challenges faced by those who attempt to convert a written text into a film — or, what’s commonly called film adaptation. The written texts selected for this section of ENWR 1510 are (mostly) short fictional stories by modern and contemporary writers, and the films are (mostly) feature-length productions based on these stories (I put "mostly" in parentheses because we will complicate things in fun and experimental ways, too - meaning that we need to deviate occasionally from general trends). Using adaptation as a topic is a way for us to write about a form of rewriting (on the totally open-to-debate premise that adaptation is indeed a form of rewriting), and in turn, for us to think and write about what critical inquiry and rewriting have to do with each other.

How do humans learn? When and where does learning occur? Why are we better at learning some things than others? Is it possible to learn how to learn? What does it mean to really learn something? This seminar will serve as a collective inquiry into the experience of learning. We will be reading and writing about a range of topics related to learning, such as curiosity, motivation, failure, boredom, attention and distraction, uncertainty, and more. In addition, our own histories of and investments in learning will serve as key course texts. Rather than talking about learning in an abstract way, you will spend a lot of time examining your own formal and informal learning experiences. Play and experimentation are also core principles of this class. Alongside more traditional writing assignments, you will get to create a mini video documentary about learning something new and participate in various “learning experiments” throughout the semester.

MW 630-745 (Bryan 310)
Vallaire Wallace

Whether we like it or not, popular culture dominates our lives. From Beyonce to The Office, no one can escape the powerful influence media has on our identities. This writing intensive seminar is focused on challenging everything that we as a society deem popular – the movies, TV shows, and books that have become a part of our everyday conversations. For though popular culture excites us enough to share and discuss with others, we cannot ignore the problematic parts of it.

In this course, we will explore what makes certain media in our culture “popular,” as well as what “popularity” means in general. We’ll also challenge and ask difficult questions about the culture we love so much. We’ll write essays about the pop culture we encounter throughout the course, becoming ourselves better critics and more aware of the media we encounter going forward. In doing so, we will learn more about what it means to be critics in a world where pop culture follows us wherever we go.

Why do we live where we do? How does housing impact our access to education, food, medical care, and other resources? What can the local built environment tell us about access to housing? Why are some people homeless? What is affordable housing and why is there so little of it? By partnering with The Haven and using different types of writing, including journal entries, forum posts, peer reviews, and formal papers, we will explore topics like homelessness, affordable housing, privilege, food insecurity, the eviction crisis, systems of power, and community engagement. We will also work with The Haven Writer's Circle to produce an online zine at the end of the semester.

The University of Virginia, founded in 1819, began with a rich history of writing and writers; that tradition continues today. But with so many different writing activities taking place across Grounds and across time, we may not fully appreciate what all this culture means.

In this course, you will both research and contribute to the culture of writing at UVA. You’ll have a chance to read the (mostly unpublished) writing of past students and faculty, to see where we’ve come from.

You’ll investigate current writing activities across Grounds, helping put together a puzzle that reveals what and how we’re writing today. And finally, you’ll create your own original writing to add to our university archives, making your mark for future generations to read. Through this hands-on literary adventure, you will gain a holistic sense of UVA's rich writing culture and your place, as well.

ENWR 3620 - Writing & Tutoring Across Cultures

TR 330-445 (Bryan 332)
Kate Kostelnik

In this course, we’ll look at a variety of texts from academic arguments, narratives, and pedagogies, to consider what it means to write, communicate, and learn across cultures. Topics will include contrastive rhetorics, world Englishes, rhetorical listening, and tutoring multilingual writers. A service-learning component will require students to virtually tutor students in sections of ENWR1506, my first-year writing courses. We will discuss pedagogies and practical, strengths-based strategies in working with multi-lingual learners on their writing; tutor first-years; and create writing projects that convey learning from these experiences. While the course will specifically prepare students to tutor multilingual writers, these skills are adaptable and applicable across disciplines and discourses. Our techniques and pedagogies will also be applicable to native-speakers. Basically, students will learn how to use dialogic engagement to support collaboration and conversation across cultures. Self-designed final writing projects will give students from various majors—education, public policy, commerce, social sciences, and STEM—the opportunity to combine their specific discourse knowledge with our course content. Additionally, students who successfully complete the course are invited to apply to work on the UVa writing center.

Indu Ohri

In a world of social distancing, flattening curves, and racial protests, do you wish that you could reach out and help others within the safety of your own home? How would you even know where to begin? During these uncertain times, many people have chosen to perform service work with the vulnerable and to write about social justice for women, minorities, and others. You will explore the answers to these questions in a profound and surprisingly local way by reading and writing about British and American women authors and sharing your knowledge with the Charlottesville community. These feminist works are the perfect place to search for answers because women writers have experienced injustice, oppression, and bigotry over the past three centuries. You will write about, reflect on, and perform community engagement through a feminist lens, especially since both movements serve historically disadvantaged populations.

As you read these women authors’ works, you will discover powerful compositional moves and feminist rhetorical strategies that you can use to inspire others to take action and improve our world. You will further consider how their written reflections can foster values such as love, understanding, and compassion and cultivate your deeper self-awareness through contemplative writing. Together, we will use feminist rhetoric, reflective writing, and service work to engage in praxis, or the application of feminist theory to reality. As a class, we will work on our collective project with UVA’s volunteer center, Madison House, to plan out creative arts boxes for students in Charlottesville schools. Our Praxis Project will support their learning about BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) women, feminist activism, and women’s literature and inspire students to empower themselves through writing.

009 - Writing about the Arts - Place and Class in Horror Fiction
MWF 1200-1250 (Hybrid) Chemistry Building 206
Grant King

What is horror as a genre? What conventions does it use? How does horror use place and class to tell its stories? Horror is an important part of our society’s culture that lets us explore our fears and our anxieties--it tells us who or what we are supposed to view as other, monstrous, terrifying. Through analyzing horror, we can understand our society’s biases towards normativity, and can perhaps even work to undercut them.

This course explores horror through the lens of place and class, with intertwining interests in race, gender, queerness, and the national traumas of the United States. We’ll read texts by a range of authors, and engage with a few films and TV series, to understand what horror tells us about our societal biases and to enrich our skills as writers.

D.I.Y., as it's known today, has existed for nearly a century. Taking hold in the post-war American suburbs, D.I.Y. making has shifted dramatically through time—birthing the iconoclastic punk era, pinterest, GoFundMe healthcare, Tik Tok videos, soundcloud rap, and more. What do these materials, scenes, makers, and movements have in common? Rhetorically rich and culturally fraught, studying D.I.Y. will get us thinking about how ideas are crafted and cooked into the language of things. Through writing, reading, and discussion, we will carefully tease these ideas out to see what we really make of them. We’ll practice what we study as artists and writers, and we'll also chat with visiting D.I.Y. artists, musicians, and writers. Perhaps most importantly, we’ll learn from D.I.Y. communities how to build supportive, inclusive, and non-judgmental creative spaces in which we can collaborate and share our work with one another.

In this section of ENWR-1510, your personal taste serves as the point of departure. We will begin with your gut reaction to a piece of art or culture. Then we will use that reaction to build an essay. How do you make your ideas and opinions matter? How do you argue your taste is superior? How do you make sense of your aesthetics in the greater context of culture? How do you transform your reactions to Mozart, Megan Thee Stallion, a TikTok trend, Salvador Dali or your grandmother’s cooking into an essay that reaches beyond your initial response? In this class any piece of art or culture is valid material. High class, low class, no class, it’s all fair game. All I care about is that you care about your topic, whether you are writing from a place of adoration or revulsion.

029 - Writing about the Arts - Writing about Shadows
MW 500-615 (Online Synchronous)
Zoe Kempf-Harris

"Shadows are and aren’t—shapes without substance. Shadows come and go, and they are subject to time and place, to conditions of light and dark, and to the objects that give them form. In the course of this seminar, we will not only explore shadows as they appear in literature and art, but we will also explore the context for these shadows. What causes a shadow to fall within a passage—and why is it important that the shadow falls there specifically? Writing is born of intention, and literary shadows are intentional too.

Writing is how we use language to investigate that which presents itself obscurely— to make inquiries into and arguments about things that are uncertain. Working across the textual, the visual, and even the cinematic, we will examine how shadows function representationally and changeably. We will look to authors and artists to uncover how these shadows can be manipulated to serve the purpose of the text, as well as how these shadows color our understanding of the passages in which they appear. Undertaking a study of shadows will allow us to grapple with the duality that allows them to both obscure and represent the realities presented to us."

What does it mean to be literate? Digitally literate? Social media literate? News literate? In this class, we will explore these questions and more as we define and redefine literacy. We will also be thinking about and developing our own multiple literacies. We will specifically be focusing on literacy in relation to digital media, which has become increasingly important during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the world of social distancing. We will start our class by reading literacy narratives. You will then write your own literacy narrative, which will help you to think about your own relationship with multiple literacies. Then, we will read and write about digital news and online commencement speeches to understand what it means to be literate in these areas. Finally, at the end of our course, we will work with and critically think about literacy in relation to social media, specifically Instagram and Twitter. No prior experience with these social media platforms – or anything else we will cover in this course – is needed.

Cassie Davies

This course will introduce students to the challenges and pleasures of essay-writing. The essay is a form that comes in many shapes and sizes, giving writers the space to examine meaningful subjects. The best way to learn about the different ways to write an essay is to study other writers, reading widely and with particular attention to the choices these writers make, so that students can borrow their tools in order to tell stories of their own. Students will read a variety of creative and critical essays that engage with different topics, from race and social inequality, to solar eclipses and surfing. Over the course of the semester, students will write two or three essays (to be determined) on topics of their choice, conducing independent research and interviews. Students will also choose and present on a documentary film.

Hannah Loeb

This course is aimed at developing your ability to engage in written and spoken discourse both in academic contexts and in the broader, civic and social contexts of a university community, local communities, nation(s), and even global communities. It will ask you to use writing to discover how insight, precision, and nuance function across rhetorical contexts. It will incite occasions of writing and speaking as opportunities to initiate and sustain critical inquiry -- in other words, as loci for exploration of uncertainties as opposed to sites of static performance of the already-known. Above all, this course will place your writing at its center, giving you the chance to focus on when, why, and how you already are a consequential writer surrounded by other consequential writers, profoundly embedded in language and therefore flush with opportunities for expression and inquiry. This semester, our inquiry will focus on action we can and must take to mitigate the suffering that will accompany imminent climate disaster. We will begin by studying the discourses of disbelief, skepticism, misinformation, and inaction promulgated by those with vested interests in maintaining fossil fuel economies in America and around the world. We will complement that study with an exploration of forms and genres of witness, testimony, and appeal. Finally, we will take action through informed dialogue and outreach, including phone and text banking, as well as more systematically-oriented action like protest and appeals to those in power for specific, institutional changes. Course texts will include Losing Earth: A Recent History by Nathaniel Rich (2019) and The Story of More by Hope Jahren (2020), as well as the podcasts Mothers of Invention and Drilled.

040 - Writing about Culture/Society - Is Chivalry Dead: From Knights to Incels and Reality TV
TR 500-615 (Online Synchronous)
Katherine Churchill

Is chivalry dead? If so, who killed it?

Context for our murder mystery: chivalry has shaped how we think about courtesy, gender, race, and power dynamics since the Middle Ages. But our understanding of it—and how we situate it in the present and the past—has changed drastically over time. Tracing a path from questing knights in shining armor to radicalized internet trolls and questions about giving up subway seats, we will investigate how fantasies of the past become rhetorical tools of the present. What is chivalry, anyway: humanizing kindness? An oppressive power dynamic? Is it truly old-fashioned? Or adaptable for a modern world?

By observing how chivalry operates in texts from the 14th century to contemporary reality TV shows, we will learn to identify ideologies operating in art, science, and society and trace them across time periods. We will develop arguments about the relationships between social and political systems. In doing so, we will start to move comfortably between diverse genres and texts, synthesize complex ideas, and imagine new ways of seeing the world. Together, we’ll attempt to respond to questions like these: How do we maintain a healthy relationship to the past? What assumptions and histories are built into our understanding of “good behavior”? What do we owe one another, anyway?

044 - Writing about Culture/Society - Strategic Rhetoric and Persuasive Effect
MWF 1100-1150 (Online Synchronous)
Robert Zenz

This class will introduce you to the concept of strategic rhetoric. Throughout the semester, we will analyze the relationship between language and thought in order to illustrate the power of well-chosen words to influence ideas and behaviors. We will demystify the often nebulous concept of rhetoric by breaking down the mechanics of persuasion as it’s found across multiple genres of literature, as well as in culture at large. Because our medium is the page, we will write to explore deeply and thoughtfully questions such as: What does persuasion look like to me? Why might it look different to someone else? How does language relate to power and/or the lack thereof? etc. Because power dynamics are inextricably entangled with questions of influence, our class will simultaneously function as an exploration of the boundary line that separates persuasion from its more sinister cousins: manipulation and coercion. Most importantly, we will write to analyze the effects of strategic rhetoric and to implement the various techniques we learn in ways that supercharge our own persuasive endeavors.

047 - Writing about the Arts - Imitation and the Apprenticeship of Writing
MWF 1100-1150 (In Person) Clark 102
Catherine Blume

In this course, we will explore writing as an apprenticeship. Imagine that you are a young painter living in 15th century Florence. Your parents have apprenticed you to one of the most well-known painters of the day and since a young age, you have been working your way up in the workshop. First, you were just sweeping floors and cleaning up dyes and tints; then, you began mixing paints; eventually, you were allowed to assist your master in compositions until finally, you have completed a Master Piece all on your own, proving that you have both mastered the style and technique taught to you by your master as well as experimented with your own style and techniques. In this example, you have mastered your craft first through imitation and then through exploration and experimentation. We will apply the same approach to writing in this course and choose for our masters some of the most well-known writers and rhetoricians of the Western Tradition—from Cicero to Hemingway—to guide us in our Writer’s Workshop.

Tarushi Sonthalia

Our current president deliberately changing Coronavirus to Chinese Virus in his speeches. Choosing a preferred pronoun of address: he/she/them. Some people being branded as terrorists and others being branded as unstable for similar acts of violence. And, finally, getting back to the person we started with: Remember covfefe, anyone? Whether you’re familiar with these examples, whether you remember the covfefe debacle does not matter. What matters is that you are an individual who communicates with others, you are an individual who uses words. And words carry power.

In this course, we will wrestle with power using words. This wrestling will depend on a nuanced and intelligent engagement with power’s many markers—race, gender, sexuality, class, and caste, to name a few. We will work with a wide range of texts in journeying through linguistic power—theoretical texts, novels, short stories, and digital media. Most importantly, this engagement will serve as an aid for you to produce texts of your own and become aware of yourselves as active interlocutors in the various networks of power—it will allow you to see that power is written and writing is power.

053 - Writing about the Arts - Points of View
TR 800-915 (Online Synchronous)
Matt Davis

This course is intended to help you develop writing skills that will help you succeed while you are at UVA and also after you graduate. The theme for this section will be "points of view" in fiction. We will read and write about short stories, with a special focus on different ways of narrating a story. The fiction readings will be taken from a classic but rather unusual anthology, Points of View, in which the stories are classified according to the mode of narration used in the story. One section of the anthology contains "interior monologues," in which we seem to be inside the main character's head, hearing his or her thoughts in live time; another section contains "dramatic monologues,"in which we seem to overhear the narrator speaking aloud to another character; a third, letters written by the characters; a fourth, diary entries; and so on. We will look at eleven modes of narration and study two examples of most modes, reading about twenty stories in all.

You will complete six substantial written assignments -- three narratives and three argumentative essays. For the narratives, you will be asked to use one of the modes of narration we have studied to tell a story. The narratives should be appx. 3-6 pages in length. (Longer is not necessarily better.) Each narrative will be written once, without opportunity for revision. For the argumentative essays, you will be asked to write an essay with a thesis and supporting textual evidence. Each essay should be appx. 4-7 pages long, but quality of writing, thinking, and argumentation are more important than length. The argumentative essays will be drafted, workshopped, and revised. In addition, you will learn some principles of composition, complete some exercises related to writing, and complete a library assignment.

Please note: This is a hybrid course that will meet once a week in person and once a week online. Please sign up for another section if you are unable to meet in person.

In this seminar, you’ll read and write a variety of genres that explore personal experiences and public issues from a wide range of perspectives. Each week you’ll read published writers whose work might serve as models for your own, and as this is a course in which the writing produced by you and your classmates is what matters most, you’ll regularly share your own work and respond to that of others. Writing assignments will be frequent, usually brief, and often experimental. If you’d like to break away from the five-paragraph, intro-body-conclusion formula for writing an essay, you may find this course appealing.

Kevin Smith

What does it mean to “write” a place? to write Charlottesville? How is Charlottesville written? There are many ways a place is comes to have meaning: through history, cartography, journalism, ad campaigns, and city ordinances. There are also less institutionally-sanctioned ways that a place is written: through activism, public art, graffiti, oral histories, and conversations. This class will focus on this interrelation between writing and place. We will explore questions like: Who gets to write Charlottesville? How does a place come to have meaning and what is the role of writing in that process? What role do you play in writing/shaping Charlottesville?

Of the many changes wrought by the pandemic, perhaps none will prove as enduring as the upending of our sense of being “at home.” We will explore the shifting dimensions of domestic space in the time of COVID-19 and the preceding century by watching and writing about different kinds of “home movies”: amateur movies that document family life, fiction films that envision home in striking ways, and reality television and documentary film. By working with a community partner on a collective filmmaking and/or screening project, we will also expand our understanding of home to encompass not just the four-walled container of the nuclear family but also more diffuse physical and/or virtual communities.

As Edward P.J. Corbett has observed, rhetorical analysis "is more interested in a literary work for what it does than for what it is." Rhetoric - how words are chosen and used - can impact everything from how we understand problems and create policies to how we engage in politics and create identity. It's never "just words." This class will explore how language use by public figures and citizens impacts how policies are created and written as well as how the political arena is changed by the use of
language. By nature of the subject matter, we will be discussing political, social, and policy issues both past and present.

In the introduction to The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K. Le Guin declares that “Science fiction is not predictive; it is descriptive.” What, then, can a work of science fiction tell us about the time in which it was written? Students in this course should expect to read and watch works of science fiction across a variety of genres and forms, including novels, short stories, essays, television episodes, and movies, and then generate critical written responses. This class focuses on reading, writing, researching, and revising carefully and with intention. Student papers will be peer reviewed and revised multiple times during class. There may be class trips to Shannon Library, the Special Collections Library, and elsewhere around Grounds.

Courtney Watts

This course is meant to help you develop your ability to write with insight, clarity, and nuance. In this course, regular practice in writing will help you pose questions, identify problems, respond to conversations, explore ambivalence, construct arguments, and imagine alternatives. All sections of ENWR 1510 place student writing at the center of the course, which means that you should expect to see your writing and that of your peers regularly discussed in class. This section of ENWR 1510 will examine writing on what may be one of the most written-about topics in human history: love. We will read written works that grapple with love, ranging from poetry to sociology; however, the central texts in this class will be the ones you produce as homework assignments and essays.

Kaitlyn Airy

In this introduction to composition course we will investigate how the essay comes together starting from its smallest components. How is an idea, a memory, or line of inquiry developed into its totality? Can an essay hold more than one thread, and how can we braid these threads together? How do we engage in meaning-making in ways that rigorously and creatively reach our intended argument? We will begin with short prose and the personal essay but from there expand our understanding of what is possible for the non-fiction genre. Our reading list will include memoir, poetry, literary criticism, as well as experimental hybrid forms of writing that push the boundary of the non-fiction essay.

ENWR 1520 - Writing and Community Engagement (1 section)

001 -- TR 12:30PM-01:45PM (BRN 312) - Writing about Food Justice
Kate Stephenson

Why do we eat what we eat? Do poor people eat more fast food than wealthy people? Why are Cheetos cheaper than cherries? Do you have to be skinny to be hungry? By volunteering at the UVA Student Garden, Morven Kitchen Garden, UVA Community Food Pantry, Loaves and Fishes, or the PVCC Community Garden and using different types of writing, including journal entries, forum posts, peer reviews, and formal papers, we will explore topics like food insecurity, food production, hunger stereotypes, privilege, urban gardening, and community engagement.

Community engagement courses depend on creating pathways between different kinds of knowledge that enable us to learn with our minds, hearts, and bodies. The classroom is not a place where we find the answer; instead, it is a space for inquiry where process rather than product prevails. We will explore first-hand the ways in which academic conversations—and civic conversations—emphasize questions rather than answers. We will redefine knowledge—where it originates, who creates it, and how it circulates—by seeing the community outside the classroom as a site of knowledge production.

Community Partners—UVA Student Garden, Morven Kitchen Garden, UVA Community Food Pantry, Loaves and Fishes, Food Assist, Feel Good, and PVCC Community Garden.

All students will have the opportunity to volunteer weekly at the UVA Student Garden (SG), Morven Kitchen Garden (MKG), UVA Community Food Pantry (FP), Loaves and Fishes (LF), Feel Good (FG), or PVCC Community Garden (PCG). Scheduling, including time slots and transportation, will be coordinated with the help of the professor and Madison House. Students should complete their chosen number of hours by April 29th and submit their community engagement log on Canvas. We will receive training from the gardens and Madison House in preparation for our partnership. During those sessions, we will think deeply about the ethics of community engagement in both theoretical and practical terms in order to align our interactions with the following principles: co-production, responsibility, equity, authentic partnership, and mutuality.

ENWR 1530 - Writing About the Imagination

MW 01:00PM-01:50PM (CLK 107)
Kenny Fountain

Discussion Sections: F 9:00AM, 10:00AM, 11:00AM, and 12:00PM. TA: TBA

Imagining and visualizing are key components of perceiving the world, remembering the past, and envisioning new futures. And words play an important role in how we imagine. That is, words make absent things present; they can bring to mind people, objects, and events remote in time or space and allow us to conceive of possibilities that do not yet exist.

Often, scientists, engineers, and Big Tech leaders describe generative AI products using the language of human imagination. For example, verbs like predict, hallucinate, and create are used to explain what both human brains and ChatGPT can do. But can these tools imagine as a human can? How might understanding human imagination shed light on our relationship with these Big Tech products? And how can we become better writers and thinkers by tapping into our own processes of imagining and visualizing?

In this First Writing Requirement (FWR) course, we will explore how writers and researchers have investigated the imagination—both human imagination and the supposedly imagination-like processes of AI products. To do this, we will read work from across several disciplines, including rhetoric, philosophy, cognitive science, science journalism, and literature. As we do this, we will examine how these writers use verbal description, visual imagery, lively storytelling, compelling evidence, and persuasive argument.

In this course, students will write with, and sometimes against, generative AI products, like ChatGPT.

ENWR 2520 - Special Topics in Writing (6 sections)

001 -- Community Engagement with UVA's Indigenous History
TR 02:00PM-03:15PM (BRN 332)
Sarah Richardson

This section of ENWR 2520, Community Engagement with UVA’s Indigenous History, will focus on using rhetorical approaches to help students improve critical reading and writing skills and craft effective arguments. Rhetoric is the study of persuasion, and we’ll spend time analyzing arguments to determine why audiences might be persuaded by them and the benefits and harm rhetoric has on indigenous communities. Students will also learn how to research, compose, and revise ethical and effective arguments to address specific audiences. In particular, this course will focus on applicable concepts to the Monacan Nation.

002 -- Writing and Games
TR 02:00PM-03:15PM (CLM 320)
Kate Natishan
Echols Students ONLY

Play is essential to our growth. Games teach us how to move, how to balance, how to coordinate our hands andeyes, how to take turns, how to share, how to read people, how to strategize, how to problem solve, how to work as a team... Without games, there is no us.

Games play a central role in our social and private lives, whether we are spectators or players. They also have massive cultural impact, sometimes in ways we don’t expect. In this class, we will examine the role games play in our lives and our culture, and we will explore the ways in which others write about games while developing our skills to do the same. Meets second writing requirement.

003 -- Writing and Documentary Film
MWF 12:00PM-12:50PM (SHN 119)
Jodie Childers
Echols Students ONLY

Documentary filmmaking involves finding and framing moments in the world around us, often to get at more profound truths. As the photographer Robert Frank contends, “When the video camera is on, I always feel that it is a kind of ‘moment of truth’ . . . it’s like a pencil.” In this course, we will examine the craft of writing through the lens of nonfiction film, attending to the rhetorical choices that shape documentary film and the writing that undergirds the process, from creation to promotion.
This course provides an invitation to documentary film, and our discussions and assignments will emphasize invention, creativity, and project design as we delve into the pre-production process, from developing concepts to pitching big ideas. In the first half of the semester, we will analyze and assess documentary films as we learn and apply the language of the screen; in the second half, we will build formal film treatments that envision and pitch our original visions. Through analyzing films and creating our own original projects, we will explore the tension between artistry and pragmatism, deepening our understanding of documentary film as a genre and confronting its affordances—both the possibilities and the constraints.

004 -- Writing as Making
MWF 11:00AM-11:50AM (BRN 334)
Heidi Nobles
Echols Students ONLY

In Writing as Making, you'll dive into research writing as both a creative and analytical process, blending ideas from the sciences and humanities. You’ll study draft and published work by science writers, explore how research takes shape, and create your own multimodal projects.

We’ll start with an escape-room-style investigation, working with rare archival materials to uncover how scientist-authors built their ideas. Then, you’ll take on your own independent research, experimenting with different ways of gathering, analyzing, and shaping information for real audiences. Along the way, you’ll test out strategies for refining your writing, including AI-assisted style experiments and audience simulations that help you see your work from fresh perspectives and find your own voice.

Throughout the course, you’ll tackle three major projects: an analysis essay, a research narrative, and a research-driven project in a format of your choice—maybe a traditional essay, a research proposal, a podcast, a webtext, or something more visual. Every project will go through a multi-step writing process, giving you space to explore ideas, draft, revise, and fine-tune your voice. By the end of the semester, you’ll have built an archive of your own research and writing, reflecting on how your process shapes your final products.

Join us as we push the boundaries of what research writing can be—and make something new along the way.

006 -- Argumentation Across Disciplines
TR 03:30PM-04:45PM (CAB 191)
Tyler Carter

Argumentation Across Disciplines examines how the linguistic and rhetorical features of argument vary from discipline to discipline. The course will make two primary movements: The first is an examination of what argument is through the lens of classical and new rhetorical theory, and second, students will do comparative research on the linguistic and rhetorical features of texts in two different disciplines.

007 -- Walking Charlottesville
TR 02:00PM-03:15PM (BRN 312)
Kate Stephenson
Echols Students ONLY

This seminar will explore the connections between walking, writing, social justice, and activism. There is a long history of walking as a means of igniting thought, creativity, and dialogue that dates back to the meanderings of Socrates and Aristotle and continues through the strolls of the Romantic poets, the city wanderings of the fictional J. Alfred Prufrock and Clarissa Dalloway, and the outdoor hikes of Wendell Berry. But walking isn’t just linked to creativity and conversation; it’s also clearly connected to social justice. Walking to freedom, as depicted in myriad slave narratives and immigration stories, as well as walking for freedom in the form of protest marches, both past and present, are important reminders that our footsteps matter. In this class, we will consider how walking can be both a solo activity and a means of creating community. By walking together, we will learn about the places and histories around us. The course will be structured around biweekly walks themed around social justice. All walks and place-based visits will include time for reflective writing.

Over the semester, you’ll dive into how public speaking is changing, looking at how tech, culture, and media all mix to change the way we communicate. We’ll focus on breaking down different types of speeches, from public addresses and TED Talks to viral videos on YouTube.

You’ll get to explore emerging concepts like social posting strategies, who your audience is, how to structure a speech for reach and engagement, and tips for content analysis. By examining contemporary speeches, you’ll learn how effective communication can shape opinions, spark social movements, and boost brands all while examining the growing role of artificial intelligence in shaping public discourse.

ENWR 3500 - Topics in Advanced Writing and Rhetoric

001 -- Rhetoric of Crime
MW 05:00PM-06:15 (BRN 310)
Rhiannon Goad

Sensational news headlines, tough-on-crime political campaigns, and gripping true crime narratives: how we talk about crime profoundly shapes our understanding of criminals, victims, justice, and social order. This course explores the rhetorical dimension of crime, examining the persuasive strategies used to define crime, influence public perception, and shape policy in contemporary culture. Together, we will critically analyze how language constructs our reality of crime and punishment. Through a series of analytic papers and a podcast, students will use rhetorical analysis to identify significant trends in crime discourse, identify agents shaping these narratives, and develop a critical perspective on the power of language in matters of law, order, and justice.

ENWR 3660 - Travel Writing

TR 09:30AM-10:45AM (BRN 330)
Kate Stephenson

Why is everyone suddenly going to Portugal? Why do we travel? What is the difference between a traveler and a tourist? Using different types of writing, including journal entries, discussion posts, peer reviews, and formal papers, we will explore the world of travel writing. Since we all write best about subjects we are passionate about, we will work together to generate interesting questions about the role of travel in our culture, as well as about specific books and essays. We will also investigate the world of tourism and consider the many ethical issues that arise in the exploration of our modern world. Throughout the course, we will ponder questions like:

What is the relationship between travel writer, reader, and inhabitant?
How can we use writing to navigate the relationship between writer, reader, inhabitant, and place?
What is the role of “outsider” in travel writing?
How does travel writing encourage us to see ourselves differently?
How can we use the very best of travel writing—the sense of discovery, voice, narrative suspense—in other forms of writing, including academic essays?
Can travel writing evoke political and social change?

As the semester unfolds, I hope we will revise and refine our views, paying close attention to how we put words together to write powerfully and engagingly about travel.

This course explores how Black Women use writing, literacy, speaking, and performance rhetorically to build the worlds they want to live in and the lives they deserve. Specifically, the course will teach you how to understand: 1) rhetoric as techne, or an art, that members of this group use to take action towards their social and political needs; 2) rhetoric as a lens for analyzing and critiquing the choices and consequences of literature, communication, and discourse; and 3) rhetoric as a resource for developing voice, style, and flavor in writing. Projects are likely to include: a discussion-leading presentation, an analytical essay, and a final project.

ENWR 3810 - Making Books: Intro to Book Editing and Publishing

MWF 12:00PM-12:50PM (BRN 334)
Heidi Nobles

Students in Making Books: Intro to Book Editing and Publishing will gain a broad view of book editing and publishing in the 21st century, as well as hands-on experience with developmental, substantive, and copy editing. This course demands attention to both practical application and meaningful philosophy, challenging students to perfect the methods of editing but also to consider the urgent implications of editorial intervention.

Editing changes texts, but it also changes the people involved--authors, editors, and reader. To push toward robust understanding and advanced skill, students will work through readings and assignments that get them working with real texts at multiple levels, all in the context of today’s book industry. Students will work in pairs and groups to perform developmental, substantive, copy edits, and revisions on well-known but contested manuscripts.

By the course’s end, students should have established their own editorial philosophy, along with a digital portfolio and work samples should they wish to pursue editorial work beyond the class.

Appropriate for aspiring publishing professionals, but also for anyone who simply wants to better understand the often-hidden lives of books-in-progress, or to take their writing skills to a new level.
