Fall 2013 Course: Writing in the Community with Professor Deborah Mutnick
Professor Deborah
Mutnick
Mondays 6-8:30 pm
This course will
satisfy a Writing & Rhetoric elective requirement in the Writing & Rhetoric
concentration. It can satisfy a general English elective requirement in the
Literature concentration. It can satisfy the Writing & Rhetoric requirement
in either the Literature concentration or the Creative Writing concentration. It can also be applied toward the
English minor. English majors concentrating in Writing & Rhetoric may take
this course a second time for credit.
Writing in the Community is a writing workshop in which students study the rhetoric and writing of community-based and other advocacy organizations. Topics vary from semester to semester and may include rhetorical analysis of community-based texts and strategies for the production of writing from flyers and pamphlets to oral histories, grant proposals, and essays.
Through course
readings, library research, and fieldwork, students learn about community
histories, issues, and channels of communication. Partnerships with local
community organizations provide “real world” experience for students to engage
in a range of activities that may include tutoring, interviewing, writing,
editing, and multimodal composing. The course culminates in the production of a
collection of digital essays for and about a specific community.
To see an example of a digital book created by
students at Penn State Berks, scan the QR code, or visit http://www.readingnaacp.org/book.html.
Readings tentatively include Warren Lehrer and Judith Sloane’s Crossing the BLVD: Strangers, Neighbors, Aliens in a New America; Harvey Wang’s New York; Paul Kutsche’s Field Ethnography; and excerpts from Robert Perks and Alistair Thomson’sThe Oral History Reader. The emphasis of the class, however, is on your writing, which will be discussed at least twice in workshop during the semester.
