Fall 2015 Graduate Level Classes
ENG 500: Introduction to Research in Literary Studies
(#4768) W 4:00-6:30pm
Donelle Ruwe
In ENG 500, students practice professional activities and master advanced research skills through an in-depth research project. Each student
identifies a literary work to be the focus of an intensive research project and works through the stages of independent, graduate-level research, from
selecting a text edition to polishing work for publication. By the end of the semester, students will have crafted a potentially publishable paper and will
submit it to a peer-reviewed journal. Class sessions will be run like a workshop: students will create curriculum vita and learn how a c.v. differs from
a resume; students will meet faculty who will help them identify grant and scholarship opportunities; students will learn how to apply to community
college faculty positions; students will learn about Ph.D. programs and their expectations; students will read and write conference abstracts and job
application letters; and students will peer-edit work for publication. This class is appropriate for beginning or advanced graduate students. Beginning
graduate students will have a chance to practice research skills that will be useful throughout their graduate careers, and more advanced graduate
students will be able to craft a formal paper that is publishable in a peer-reviewed journal or that could be delivered at a scholarly conference.

ENG 522: Rhetoric & Writing in Professional Communities
(#18120) Online Asynchronous
Damian Koshnick
In this course we wish to explore how rhetorical strategies are properties of discourse communities & how they influence writers & readers. You
address an audience with whom you share values, methods, and experiences. Providing an occasion for you to write, a discourse community acts as
a kind of co-author, as well as a set of readers. The organization of a community determines:
 who speaks (or writes)
 when they speak
 how they speak (casually, formally, etc.)
 what tone they use
 how long they speak
 to whom they speak
 what they can say
 why they speak
Because little of this is explicitly defined, it is important to recognize & analyze discourse communities in order to navigate among them, & to write
effective documents in both your professional community & in addressing a different community. You will read theory (mostly by Michel Foucault),
work through case studies on a team, & read about how communities rhetorically define themselves & set rules for the struggle to gain & retain
power.

ENG 523: British Authors
(#18380) M 4:00-6:30pm
Mara Reisman
British Authors is an in-depth look at two authors. This semester we will focus on the works of contemporary British authors Julian Barnes and Angela
Carter and investigate the ways in which their literature is inextricably linked to social, cultural, and political issues. “There is a tendency to underplay,
even to devalue, the experience of the 1960s, especially for women,” writes Angela Carter, “but towards the end of that decade there was a brief period
of public philosophical awareness that occurs only very occasionally in human history; when, truly, it felt like Year One, that all that was holy was in
the process of being profaned and we were attempting to grapple with the real relations between human beings.” Carter’s description emphasizes the
cultural and social potential represented by the 1960s. Not only could people break with the old order, and with old relationships; they could rebuild. It
was a time when people could, and were on some level expected to, reinvent their social roles. In terms of literature, this reinvention took the form of
challenging and rewriting familiar and established narratives. Driven by their interest in investigating and exposing how cultural narratives gain and
maintain credibility, authority, and power, contemporary British writers like Barnes and Carter write fiction that upsets conventional modes of thought
and disrupts socially ingrained power structures.

ENG 546: American Indian Literature
(#18389) Th 4:00-6:30pm
(#18390) Online Asynchronous
Jeff Berglund
This course explores how contemporary American Indian writers are engaged in the creative process of “laying claim” to presence, voice, tradition,
culture, community, and sovereignty; it is further predicated on the presumption that American Indian literature and narrative are a quintessential
aspect of the U.S. tradition of literary arts and provide a unique view of U.S. history and politics in both a national and global sense.
An insistence on cultural specificity, historical accuracy, and context will ensure that students develop a well-rounded knowledge of a variety of
traditions from specific tribal contexts. Particular emphasis will be placed on the necessary historical and cultural context required for a thorough
understanding of late 20th-Century and 21st-Century Indigenous writers.

ENG 549: Information Design and Usability Testing
(#18124) Online Asynchronous
Damian Koshnick
There are two overlapping areas that you will study in English 549. 1. “Usability Testing” involves wading into that fascinating tension between
technology and society. Concisely stated, the Usability Testing goals and objectives correspond to learning usability research methods for assessing
the functions and impact of a given technology from a “user-centered” perspective. 2. “Document Design” involves engaging with the processes and
complexities of writing, editing, and intentionally designing documents to accomplish stated goals. It also involves studying the social contexts and
rhetorical features of existing “documents” (for example websites, etc.) to understand the purpose, function, and impact of specific written forms on,
or for targeted users (audiences).

ENG 577: Readings in Creative Writing
(#4796) W 4:00–6:30pm
J Woodman
This special section of ENG 577 is designed for MFA students in Creative Writing interested in studying the boundaries of narrative form. Our
exploration of narrative technique will focus on notable works of fiction and film. Texts tentatively include David Shields' Life Is Short--Art Is Shorter
(an edited anthology of prose poems, flash fictions, brief nonfictions, etc.), Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great
Gatsby, Maureen Corrigan's So We Read On: How The Great Gatsby Came to Be and Why It Endures, and various classic/current films. Reading
fiction and viewing films as writers, our inquiry will attempt to ascertain the qualities of a well-structured story. As we read/view, we will pay particular
attention to narrative strategies that we may wish to emulate (or avoid) in our own work. Graduate students in this class should be prepared to write
creative response papers and flash fictions inspired by the works studied in the course, participate in other assignments, workshops, readings,
etc. Warning: Even though we will be looking at major works of fiction and film, there's a good chance that we will also read and talk about the
poetry of Raymond Carver, a surprise YA novel, two compelling picture books, the highly inappropriate and unclassifiable Cat & Gnome, a chapter
from a screenwriting book called Save the Cat!, James Runcie's "The Shadow of Death" from Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death
(Grantchester), and the first chapters of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep.

(#18118) Online Asynchronous
Gregory Larkin
This is a hands-on course in the proposal strategy and writing processes as practiced in the working worlds of business, industry, government, and
education.
The purpose of this course is to take the student through the proposal design, development, revision, and editing processes, matching as closely as
possible in the school environment the actual proposal writing process as it takes place in the professional world. This will help the student to
understand how to write a winning proposal and how to build a team with the necessary qualifications to write winning proposals.
This course follows as much as possible the practices actually used in the working world to generate proposals. Specifically, students work in teams
on each phase of the process, and other student teams review the output of each phase. Winning proposals are clear, concise, coherent, and
correct. They maximize graphic impact, minimize prose, and emphasize features and benefits more than mere cost. This course teaches students
how to design and write these winning proposals.

ENG 622: Topics in Historical and Contemporary Rhetoric
(#19971) Online Asynchronous
Laura Gray-Rosendale
This course explores the long-standing foundation on which the contemporary discipline of rhetoric and writing studies is built. At its base is
Aristotle’s belief that rhetoric is the art of discovering all the available means of persuasion. Today, we study private and public discourse, social
movements, and mediated discourse, which includes the study of visual and nonverbal elements.
This is a reading intensive class. We will study the histories of argumentative rhetoric from the classics to the present. Primary texts may include
those written by the Sophists, Plato, Aristotle, Quintilian, and Cicero as well as a series of contemporary and postmodern rhetorical theorists. We will
also read secondary critical materials written about them. Students will write a combination of short and long texts in response to the course readings
as well as engage in detailed on-line discussions about them.

ENG 707: Seminar in the Linguistic Analysis of Discourse and Register Variation: Discourse Analysis
(#4810) MW 4:00-5:15pm
Doug Biber
In this course we will survey a number of approaches to the linguistic analysis of written and spoken texts. The course has two major components:
1) reading and critiquing research studies published in major research books and journals; and 2) applying the methodological techniques of course
readings to actual text analyses.
We will begin by considering different definitions of 'discourse', distinguishing first between linguistic approaches and socio-cultural
approaches. The present course is focused on linguistic approaches, and within those, we can distinguish among studies of language use, grammar
(and grammatical variation) in discourse, information structure and cohesion in discourse, studies of textual structure and organization,
genre/register descriptions, and ‘critical’ discourse studies.
The course will begin with the topic of grammatical complexity in English, approached from a textual perspective. We will read a new book that is
currently in press (Cambridge University Press; co-authored with Bethany Gray), comparing the grammatical complexity of spoken and written texts,
and focusing especially on the peculiar grammatical features that are especially characteristic of advanced research writing. We will also carry out
pilot investigations to explore the extent to which these features are characteristic of student writing, and how students develop proficiency in these
features are part of their advanced university education.
Beyond that, I am happy to focus on discourse topics that students are especially interested in. I will try to include some readings
representing each of the major linguistic approaches to discourse. In general, I’d like students to read 3-4 articles as a class each week, with the
discussion led by a student. In addition, I plan to undertake 2 pilot research projects over the course of the semester, plus group activities in several
class periods, applying the methodologies of class readings to investigate specific research questions.
