Description:
Why should we care about what we’re saying and how we’re saying it? How is language shaped by race, American culture, and global society in an age of political division and technological innovation? We all have various racial, class, and gender orientations; we all have access to different audiences; and we all communicate in diverse styles. So saying, in this class, Seeing Language and Race, we’ll continue the work of Writing 1 by critically reading and interpreting texts from interdisciplinary fields spanning the arts, social sciences, and the humanities. We’ll use these source texts as a jumping off point for critical reflection and creative inquiry into how language and race shape each other, and ourselves.
