Semester 1 | Credits: 10

This is a combined research and workshop course which introduces you to the proper scholarly investigation of archives and helps you to develop strategies for presenting and interpreting archive material in writing projects. While we will cover some of the well-established methods available for the accurate incorporation of empirical data in scholarly essays, this course will also explore how the imperatives of factuality and accuracy can be facilitated within other brands of writing. Thus, while our classes will always be focused on the collective importance of the ‘truth values’ of written research, we will also be encouraging investigations into how these same values can be maintained while we simultaneously try to discover and foster our own individualistic critical sensibilities and prose styles.
