WRITING COURSES:
After taking or placing out of Introductory Composition, students may elect either English 224 or 225 for further practice in the fundamentals of expository and argumentative prose. English 325 offers the opportunity for work in argumentative and expository prose at a more advanced level.
Several sections of English 223, the beginning course in creative writing, are available each term. The work is multi-generic, and two of the following will be covered in each section: fiction, poetry, and drama, or you may take English 227 (Introductory Playwriting). A more advanced course for creative writers is English 323 (Fiction or Poetry), which is available after completion of the prerequisite, English 223. More experienced writers may apply for admission to specialized sections of English 327 (Playwriting), English 423 (Fiction), English 427 (Advanced Playwriting), and English 429 (Poetry). Admission to these advanced courses is by permission of the instructor, who may require writing samples.
INDEPENDENT STUDY:
Independent study in English must be elected under one of the following numbers: 226 (Directed Writing, 1-3 hours), 299 (Directed Reading, 1-3 hours), 426 (Directed Writing, 1-4 hours), 499 (Directed Reading, 1-4 hours). There is a limit to the total hours that may be taken under any one number. Students interested in independent study should obtain an application from the English Department office on the third floor of Angell Hall. Independent study proposals must be approved by a supervising professor and by the Undergraduate Chair of the department. The deadline for Independent Study in the Fall Term 2000 is September 24, 2000.
English 350 & 351
This two-term sequence is designed to give students a principled sense of the range of literary works written in English; the first term will characteristically deal with works produced before the later seventeenth century - to the time of Milton, that is; the second term will begin at that point and proceed to the present. These courses will be open to English concentrators and to non-concentrators alike.
English 370, 371, & 372
Each of these courses will range over the materials of the periods indicated below in one or more of a variety of ways. Some may be multi-generic surveys; some may focus on the development during the period of specific genres; some may be topical, others formal in their principle of organization. All sections will emphasize the development of student skill in writing essays analyzing the materials and evaluating the approaches in question.

How do the very words that we speak and the way that we say them define our social identity? In this course we will examine how authors confront questions of language and group identity, and how texts depict ways that communities of English speakers are defined by and through their particular varieties of English. To that end, we will read linguistically-conscious" writers such as Joyce, Borges, Hurston, Cisneros, and Friel with an eye to sharpening our own skills of language perception and expression. This will be a writing-intensive course: 4 polished papers of 3-5 pages in length, and several shorter writing assignments are required.

Instructor(s): Frantz
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted.
Writing has always been used to persuade people to perform acts against their better judgment – acts of rebellion or treason, acts of destruction or creation. But most of all, across centuries and cultures, writing has been used to persuade people to fall in love, to woo the object of the writer's desire: "Come live with me and be my love, / And we will all the pleasures prove." We will question how and by whom love is defined, where love and desire intersect, and what responses are possible for the love object. By analyzing these thematic questions as well as the crafts of persuasion (tone, audience, point of view), we will improve your analytical reading skills and your argumentative and persuasive writing skills (and maybe even your love life!). Texts will include poetry, fiction, prose, drama, and film, and will examine all forms of love – heterosexual, homosexual, platonic, and passionate, unrequited and fulfilled. Possible texts include poetry by Sappho and Rumi, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare in Love, Austen's Persuasion, Leslie Feinberg, and Nora Roberts. Class requirements include active class participation, weekly emailed responses to readings, and 4-5 revised papers that will leave you with a portfolio of 20-30 pages of polished, argumentative prose.

Instructor(s): Harrington
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century a number of writers became obsessed with the intersection of art and life. Works by such authors as Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Browning, and Honore de Balzac ask where the boundaries are between a painting and what it represents. How do we attach significance and construct meanings for works of art? How do these texts deploy the category of the visual? How do we create an image with words? In this course we will concentrate on the way literature reflects on its own power as it addresses aesthetic responses to visual art. While these questions provide a thematic framework, the goal of the course is to improve your critical thinking and analytical writing skills. Thus in thinking about what language tries to accomplish in the texts we read, we will also address this issue in our own writing. You can expect to write response papers to all readings as well as five more substantial essays that will be workshopped and revised.

Section 021 – Reading and Writing about Gender and Genre
Instructor(s): Bachman
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted.
What is a man? What is a woman? How do writings in different genres construct and question the category of gender? Students will practice skills in critical thinking, close reading, and argumentative and expressive writing through intensive engagement with a variety of texts dealing with issues of masculinity and femininity and alternative roles and identities. Examining fiction, essays, memoir, poetry, and drama, we will look at a wide range of interpretations and representations of these social categories. Students will write 4-5 short papers, complete a number of informal writing assignments, and participate in class discussion about readings. Readings will include works by Joanna Russ, Kate Bornstein, Tobias Wolff, Gayle Rubin, Judith Butler, June Arnold, Tim O'Brian, Anne Fausto-Sterling, and others.

Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: https://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2000/fall/lsa/english/124/023.nsf
This is an intensive reading and writing course. In it, you will be asked to read
challenging, literary texts and to respond to the readings in reader-response/re-vision
journal entries. We'll begin with reading myths in their original form and then branch
off into "other" or "new" ways of understanding and re-interpreting these stories and
psychologies. The reading load will be moderately heavy. The writing load will be
intensive. We will hone our writing skills through journal writing, peer critiquing,
critical essays, creative re-visioning of myths or other stories, and creative non-fiction
writing. You can expect to write approximately 25 pages of polished, revised prose.
You will also be asked to write various kinds of assignments, including four
extensively revised essays with reflective analyses about your writing processes for
each.
This course will present you with opportunities and strategies to help you begin to
see and re-see what you read and write and will challenge you to think in ways that
may be quite different from what you are accustomed to. Thus, you will be pushing
ideas you've held previously up against ideas we share in class. This process will, I
hope, open up possibilities for many ways of seeing that can help inform a more
complete understanding of the reading, writing, and thinking that we do in the class.
You will also be asked to become involved in the direction that the course takes by
taking part in a "Reading Group Project" and reflecting on what occurs in the class
as the semester progresses.
As active participants in academic discourses, we (as individuals and as a class) must
seek ways to engage old and new materials, to open spaces within them to enlarge the
conversations we have, and see and re-see our own perspectives and those of others.
These are not easy acts. They are difficult and sometimes exhausting, and yet they
are the life-blood of the university and as such are exciting, stimulating and
energizing. This course, then, is structured to offer you the support and guidance you
may need to enter into the discourses necessary for your academic (and, perhaps,
professional) careers and yet will require you to take part in creating the kinds of
conversations that lead to enlarging and informing academic discourse as a whole.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Irish cultural revival a flourishing of Irish writing – attempted to redefine Irish identity. This course will draw upon Irish literary renaissance for its core materials. Our exploration of Irish identity should raise several questions. What does geographic place have to do with identity? How can a limited national self-definition sacrifice individual identity and cultural heterogeneity? In short, what makes one Irish? As we answer these questions, our literary analysis should provide material to accomplish this course's dominant objective: to improve your composition skills. You will write at least four essays, participate in peer workshops, conference with the instructor, and work with drafts through the revision and editing process. This course will include a combination of formal and informal writings, and students will give careful attention to their own and their classmates' drafts. James Joyce's Dubliners, selections of W.B. Yeats' poetry, and plays from J.M. Synge and Sean O'Casey exemplify of the kinds of work that we will read.

This course will provide you with an introduction to reading and writing at the college level. Our readings will be drawn from nineteenth and twentieth-century literature and will be organized around three units of inquiry: 1) What is our role as readers of literature and how can we imagine ourselves as active participants in an author's attempt to produce meaning? 2) How did nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers respond to the modernization of their society? 3) How have writers responded to the increasing diversity of American society, and what is the role of the immigrant in the American imagination? Our readings will include novels and/or short stories by the following authors: Henry James, Herman Melville, Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, and Virginia Woolf. You will find many of our readings to be very challenging: come to this course with an open mind so that you can allow our authors to teach you to read in new ways. Course requirements include four formal essays, response papers, and class participation.

Section 029 – Images of Rural America
Instructor(s): Borger
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted.
Despite the steady decline of rural populations and economies in the twentieth century, pictures of rural life have provided us with some of the most powerful and enduring characters and stories in both "literature" and popular culture. Authors such as John Steinbeck, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Rudolfo Anaya, Leslie Marmon Silko, Harriette Arnow, and Barbara Kingsolver have told rural stories of plenty and deprivation, comedy and tragedy, hope and despair. Film and television, ranging from John Ford's stirring Grapes of Wrath to television's farcical "Beverly Hillbillies," have brought us rural victims, exemplars, caricatures, and buffoons, while musical traditions such as blues, folk, bluegrass, and country music have told their own stories of rural life. Drawing its materials from this varied set of images, this course will explore the question of the rural in twentieth-century representation as a vehicle for developing and honing the skills of careful reading, thoughtful interpretation, and critical writing. As we learn to craft essays about literature, a host of issues will occupy us. What is literary analysis? Why do we do it? What makes good writing? And, finally, what is literature? Requirements: four formal papers of varying lengths, evaluations of other students' writing, and short, informal response papers.

Section 030 – Writing and Literature: Violence in Literature
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: http://www.personal.umich.edu/~swabey/
The goal of this course is to write thoughtful literary interpretations, and in so doing, to train your minds to think more critically about the rhetorical strategies in any texts including your own. The readings will focus particularly on violence and how literature accounts for it and
deals with it. Why our fascination with patricide, infanticide, regicide, and other violent acts? How does culture explain it? Readings will include Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Gilgamesh, the story of Cain and Abel, the book of Job, Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," and other texts that center on a violent crime. We shall emphasize writing through revision in a workshop setting. There will be a minimum of 4 papers, weekly one-page responses, and a quiz or two on the readings. Consistent attendance and active participation are vital as is a curious and open mind. For more information see www.personal.umich.edu/~swabey or e-mail swabey@umich.edu.

Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted.
How do people in the twentieth century experience urban life? How do writers tackle the challenge of representing the city's chaos, its squalor, its noise, its ecstasies, its opulence, its poverty, its excess? This course will explore the art of crafting vibrant, carefully-written essays and the related art of reading actively by looking at twentieth-century representations of the city in both prose and poetry. We will read chronologically, observing how authors across the decades and from different social perspectives have understood the effects that rapid modernization has had upon urban life. Texts for this course will include James Joyce's collection of short stories – Dubliners, poems and short prose pieces by authors such as Virginia Woolf, William Carlos Williams, Jean Toomer, Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop, Richard Wright, and Frank O'Hara, and Thomas Pynchon's novel The Crying of Lot 49.

Section 034 – The Page, Stage, and Screen of Renaissance Tragedy
Instructor(s): Evenson
Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).
Credits: (4).
Course Homepage: No Homepage Submitted.
Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of the cornerstones of the Western literary canon. How and why do actors and directors return to Hamlet, and to other tragedies from the Renaissance, to create and recreate the plays in various new contexts? We will be looking at four plays from the Renaissance (Hamlet, Othello, Romeo & Juliet, and Marlowe's Dr. Faustus) to better understand how these plays operate in different contexts, particularly on the page, stage, and screen, and we will consider how these media help determine meanings in the play. To this end we will examine a film version, present and analyze a mini-performance, as well as read closely the written word. My goal for the term is not only to improve your expository and analytical writing, but also to help you learn how to write about challenging texts. By the end of the semester you will have refined your grammar, developed your analytical writing skills, and produced four polished essays.

Why is it that we refer to the "body" of an author's work? to his/her "corpus"? Where are the (material) bodies within the (textual) bodies? Where, how, and why is the body of the text written and unwritten? In this course, we will use prose (fiction and nonfiction), poetry, and, to a lesser extent, the visual arts in order to think about how bodies are raced, gendered, sexed, violated, subjected, and celebrated. Texts by Walt Whitman, Jeanette Winterson, Shakespeare and many others will provide a jumping off point not only for talking about how bodies are represented but also for talking about how arguments are constructed critically and creatively. The critical and creative essays that you compose over the course of the term, your body of work, will also be a central fixture in our discussions as we work towards honing and refining your composition skills.

What is the relation between thinking and the expressive form thinking takes? When language is extended to mean other than verbal language, why is it that our thinking makes use of the visual icon or musical theme *as* an alternate kind of language? By engaging ourselves in a diverse body of material – from poetry to prose, painting to philosophy, music to movies – this course is designed to explore the correspondences between thought and its various representations. We will probe how language both helps us to think and serves to indicate the hazards, the complications, the suffering, the comedy, the romance of thought. The course load will be light (not more than 110 pages total of assigned reading), yet the emphasis will be on your thinking and how you put that thinking into a coherent written work: the essay.

engage the historical with the legendary, mythic, and fantastic. Be prepared to contemplate the
extraordinary, share your ideas, and work closely with your peers. You will be assigned weekly writing exercises as well as longer formal essays. By the end of the term you can expect to have written 20-30 pages of revised, polished work.

American literature may not be peopled with its own set of gods and goddesses, but it is filled with "myths" – themes that recur decade after decade, shaping (and being shaped by) the way we understand American culture and traditions. In this course, we will read a variety of American literature grouped around broad, "mythic" themes. We will begin by examining "the folk hero" through various perspectives, from Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men to Bernard Malamud's The Natural, and will proceed through topics such as "frontiers and pioneers" and "the American dream." We will read texts in many literary genres (novel, short story, poem, play, song) by authors who may be familiar to you (e.g., Walt Whitman, Arthur Miller), as well as by writers who are less well-known. Exploring how these texts address related issues in different ways will offer wide-ranging insight into how authors choose and reflect their materials. The focus of the course will be on developing your ability to write insightful, clearly organized, graceful essays, some of which will involve analyzing the texts we read. Course requirements include three essays of varying lengths with rough drafts; 1-2 page critiques of peers' work; several shorter, informal assignments; and an end-of-term portfolio that includes an extended version of your favorite essay. Since the class relies heavily on discussion and workshops, active participation and attendance are mandatory.

What constitutes the world for you? New York? Los Angeles? Or perhaps it is Paris in the 1920s, London in the 1960s, or Alexandria in the time of the Pharaohs. Writers constantly evoke other worlds as they remember them to have been or imagine them to be. We will concentrate on works by writers who, for one reason or another, feel themselves excluded from the world as they conceive of it. These reasons might include notions of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, and age or they might be based on temporal or spatial disjunctions. Writing assignments will focus on thinking analytically about the worlds presented to us in the texts we read and about the world as each of us perceives it. Assignments will include four essays, two of which will be workshopped, the keeping of a writing journal, and other short assignments. Class participation will be an essential component of the grading scheme. Readings will include short works by Calvino, Gordimer, Erdrich, Didion, Iyer, Theroux, Lévi-Strauss and many others.

Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (Introductory Composition).

Course Homepage: http://www.personal.umich.edu/~swabey/
The goal of this course is to introduce students to academic writing which can be defined as an ongoing conversation between people who enjoy exchanging ideas, finding out new way of understanding problems, and developing their own intellectual muscle. Academic writing is therefore conversational, often questioning, frequently skeptical, and sometimes downright exciting. By the end of this course, students will understand how to apply the rhetorical strategies involved in replying to other academics in concise, well-developed, carefully crafted prose. There will be a minimum of 4 papers, as well as a weekly one-page paper on the reading assignments. Revision will be emphasized through the writing and rewriting of drafts. Library visits may be scheduled, as well as a lecture or two. Participation is a vital part of the course, as is consistent attendance, and unflagging spirits. For more information, see
www.personal.umich.edu/~swabey or e-mail swabey@umich.edu.

For most of you, November 7, 2000 will be your first opportunity to vote in a
presidential election. On the news and in the papers, political analysts proclaim that
the President of the United States is the single most important individual on earth;
behind the podium, politicians insist that presidential elections provide us with a vital
opportunity to "make our voices heard;" and yet, in spite of the supposed importance
of this event, pollsters constantly quote figures that suggest that Americans don't
care.
Do we care? Should we care? Should everybody care? And about whom is it in our
best interest to care? Over the course of the semester, we will examine this and other
issues related to the upcoming election. Regardless of what happens at the polls on
November 7th, in this class, you will have the opportunity to make your voice heard.

What is American literature? What people and perspectives (literary, social or historical) might this term include? We will examine some of the myths and realities of this country as voiced in its literature. How do different writers engage with or revise the American dream? How can we examine, interrogate, and expand our ideas as we think about the merit of "American values"? How do we judge others based on their speaking or writing abilities? How do people, including immigrant and multi-cultural writers, talk about their sense of community and alienation? How do thinkers, like yourself, negotiate between cultural, regional, familial and individual identities and the demands of mainstream culture?

Like all sections of English 125, a major goal of this course is to help you develop
the writing and analytical skills you will need to be a successful writer in and beyond
academia. This course, specifically designed for the Michigan Community Scholars
Program, has another central goal: to give you opportunities to use writing, along
with reading, to gain a deeper understanding of how academic life relates to
community, identity, and service. You will also use writing to "serve" your peers in
the MCSP
community as you, in collaboration with your peers, produce an issue of the
program's newsletter.
These are among the questions that will be considered in the reading and writing you
do for the course:
- What is community?
- What is the relationship between diversity and community?
- What are the obligations of a good citizen in a community?
- How do technological, cultural, and economic change affect community?
- What is the relationship between community and identity?
- What makes for useful and effective community service learning experiences?

The primary purpose of this course is to help you gain proficiency in college level
writing. You and your classmates come to this university from different backgrounds,
with varied experiences and interests. And you will all probably go on to different
fields of study and different careers. What you and your classmates share is the need
to convey to others your ideas, questions, and answers in the best way possible. This
will be very important in any discipline you pursue (science or history or literature),
and in any discussion of an idea you will be involved with (school, work, social
relationships). What I want to teach you in this course is how to do this through
writing.
In this class, we will look at writing from different fields of study: history, art,
physics, sociology, mathematics. We will look at how these people pursue
knowledge, why they pursue it, and most importantly how they write about this
pursuit. Each essay or article is concerned with a pursuit of knowledge, an answer to
a question. It may be examining a really specific question (What is "Fermat?s Last
Theorem?") or it may be examining how their field in general asks questions (How
do historians define a fact?). Our task will be to identify strategies in the pursuit of
knowledge that are common to all these fields. What procedures does a scientist
share with an artist? What concerns does an historian share with a mathematician?
We will examine how these people use the common strategies differently. As we read
through these essays, we will work to define, expand, and challenge these common
strategies and, specifically, how they can apply to writing essays of our own.
Remember: Although we will be reading several essays by different authors, the most
important authors in this class are you and your classmates. We may look to these
authors for suggestions on how to write and what to write about, but you should not
think of them as having the last word on what is good writing. You are the emerging
authority. You will be the future artists, scientists, historians, writers. You will be
appropriating these strategies, and/or turning these strategies on their heads. You
should feel free to contest these authors? opinions or methods. This course will be
the first of many in your college career where you will be asked to examine different
approaches to knowledge, to decide for yourself on how you will approach or pursue
it, and to defend your decision.

This is first and foremost a course intended to help you in the invention, construction, and delivery of your ideas, chiefly in writing. Some aspects of writing well can be taught and learned rather easily, like what a subject of a sentence is, a verb, a verb tense, and so on. As we proceed further, however, some of the teachable and learnable features of writing become more complex. For example, what is an "appropriate" subordinate idea? What is "good" arrangement? How much is "effective" amplification? Writing can be frustrating because of this complexity. The treatment for this frustration is experience, i.e., experience in reading, writing, and language. This course provides such an experience of language. Designed in conjunction with the Michigan Community Scholars Program, this course will grow out of community service activities, and your writing will grow from information you collect by interviewing others. You will be expected to research and write on a variety of topics: race, community service, television, and culture. With some clever and thoughtful choreography (the above-mentioned invention, construction, and delivery), the week-to-week assignments will culminate in a coherent, memorable, and collectable project of writing.

This course is designed to develop your writing from a strong attention to grammatical detail toward argumentation. In addition to the completion of essay assignments, your participation is mandatory for in-class discussion and short writing assignments. We will read a diverse body of writing that will serve as a catalyst for discussion and writing. You will complete weekly reader responses (1 to 2 pages) examining major themes and writing styles of the readings; four formal, revised essays (from 3 to 8 pages); and several in-class writing exercises. By the end of this course you should be able to write more clearly and confidently, and with increased complexity, about a range of texts and ideas.

What is "community"? More specifically, how does this society define the term "community"? Does the term take on different connotations for you based on your class? Gender? Race? Ethnicity? Age? In this course, students will put the direct experiences of their first term at Michigan-both on and off campus-to ponder these and various other questions regarding our society's perspective on "community." Furthermore, this section of English 125 is offered only to students enrolled in the new Michigan Community Scholars Program in Mary Markley Hall and will focus on writing within the context of community service. In addition to attending the course and doing course assignments, students will work for selected community groups as part of their Community Scholars Program community service commitment or as an additional commitment. Students will use writing to reflect upon their community service experience, and there will be reading and writing assignments that will ask students to consider community service learning within the context of contemporary American society and higher education. Students should be aware that specifics of the course may change as the Community Scholars Program evolves. Students should expect to write at least 25-30 pages of polished prose during the term.

In this course, we will consider writing as a mode of knowledge construction, and consider ourselves worthy contributors to the wide body of academic knowledge. In the first section of the course, "Making Knowledge," we will look at how writers employ different modes of writing – description, narrative, argument, and analysis – to formulate what is "known" and to share it with an audience. During this section, we will experiment with these different writing modes in short weekly writing assignments. In the second section of the course, "On the Borders of Knowledge," our readings will pose questions about how dominant values and, at times, prejudices, influence what is considered worth knowing and who can gain access to knowledge. In the third section of the course, "Constructed Bodies of Knowledge," our readings will discuss the social construction of academic disciplines: history, literary studies, and biology. Our readings will provide you with both subject matter and rhetorical models for your own essays. Through implementing the techniques you see others use, you will learn how to use language to shape ideas and thoughts – not just to convey them, but to "make knowledge." Through the semester-long process of reading, discussing, drafting and revising – and revising again – you will learn how to refine your control of the written word, enabling you to present your ideas in a clear, sophisticated, and powerful way.

No matter what your academic focus or career goals, you will receive many writing
assignments in multiple disciplines during your time here at the University of
Michigan. By the time you graduate, you will have written hundreds of pages of
prose, whether criticism, articles, research, lab reports, or technical papers. What you
write will make up the bulk of how you are judged for your intelligence, knowledge,
and competence, both here and for the rest of your life. In other words, it is
imperative that you learn to write well, and as soon as possible.
An important aspect of this course will be getting out of the habit of thinking of
academic writing as a matter of simply fulfilling assignments. Writing well is not
about getting the right answer or filling up the right number of pages-- each writing
assignment is a chance for you to talk back and express your own ideas in your own
voice. This course will help you to discover your own writing process, from finding a
topic to polishing a finished essay.

Credits: (4).

This course will introduce students to college-level critical thinking and writing.
Students should be aware from the outset that English 125 designates a large number
of very different college-level writing courses. This section will use texts and
problems drawn from history, philosophy, and the social sciences, and its focus will
be the question of what it means to be a modern American. Students enrolled in the
course should expect to read, write about, and discuss a number of challenging,
provocative books and articles. Among those texts will be a classical philosophical
dialogue, a modern romantic novella, a memoir from early twentieth-century America,
two recent works of social and cultural criticism, and four contemporary popular
political science essays. Authors include Boethius, Goethe, Jane Addams, Neil
Postman, David Brooks, and Robert D. Putnam.

The signers of the United States Constitution declared freedom of expression the most important right of United States citizens. Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and hundreds of others incited a nation to free millions of enslaved people through their rhetorical activism. Susan B. Anthony and dozens of other women used the only power they had, the power of language, to ensure women their right to vote in this country. And the persuasive eloquence of Martin Luther King, Jr., changed this nation's consciousness. How do people use language to define, reform, and even revolutionize politics and society? That will be our central question as we study texts representing a range of positions from five U.S. civil rights movements: the early woman's rights, antislavery, 1960s civil rights, women's liberation, and gay rights movements. Students will participate in class discussions, write occasional brief responses to readings, and do a project that will include a presentation and a paper.
