The Development of Writing: Theory, Tools, and Methods

What is writing for? How do writers and writing develop? In this doctoral-level seminar, students explore the nature of writing as a tool for organizing
consciousness, along with cognitive, sociocultural, and critical perspectives on the teaching and development of writing. We will pay particular attention to research methods and technological tools available to study and facilitate these literacy processes. Applying concepts and methods covered in this course, students pursue independent projects in areas of professional interest.
