R174. CANCELLED: Beyond Research: Creative Writing Practices in the Composition Classroom

Status: Not Accepted

Room 304, Henry B. González Convention Center, Ballroom Level
Thursday, March 5, 2020
10:35 am to 11:50 am

 

As composition continues to push for a STEM-oriented curriculum rooting the writing practice in research and hard sciences, we are under-preparing our college students for the many rhetorical and genre challenges to come. This interactive panel will provide narrative and poetic activities that center a more inclusive rhetoric and expand the compositional toolbox. We will model the critical reflection on positionality and power that is integral to transferable genre awareness.
