F2F and eLearning

WRA/ENG 395: WC Theory and practice
Class Description: This course invites students to build more comprehensive understandings of the theories and practices of writing centers, writing, and literacy. Throughout the course, students will (1) learn about language and literacy practices, (2) recognize and account for writing as a social practice influenced by social forces, (3) reflect on their own experiences, identities, and practices of reading and writing through these social forces including identity, location, race, class, gender, disability, and sexuality, and (4) develop a range of practices for criticality and being. Through reflection, practice, and community-engaged learning, students will develop toolkits and strategies for working with writers. In this, students will learn how to balance their own boundaries and needs with the needs of writers who have differing needs, experiences and literacies whilst remaining critical of power structures. ​

WS 301: Sexual Violence Against Women and Children
Course Description: ​We will engage with various topics under sexual violence and oppression. We will critically examine a variety of texts through different social, societal, and cultural lenses to understand how dominant systems of oppression have shaped our understanding of sexual violence so that we can develop individual and collective strategies to disrupt violence. You will be introduced to and develop an understanding of sexual violence, including rape, battering, incest, and sexual harassment from theoretical and applied perspectives. We’ll interrogate the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, oppressive systems, and violence.
