Writing in the Modern Research University
Credit hours: 3.00
Contact hours per week: 3-0-0
Exploration of the pivotal role writing plays in the modern research university in the construction of the social roles and identities of academics and of academic knowledge itself; the idea of 'disciplinarity'; the different disciplines in the modern research university; and the different ways these disciplines view research, value types of knowledge, understand the role of the researcher in knowledge-making, and work with the challenges of translating that knowledge for non-expert use. Special attention will also be paid to academic writing as a tool used to exclude or marginalize certain knowledges, and the role of writing in Indigenizing the university and in making the university a more ethical, inclusive research space.
