Designing "Writing For Health And Medicine": Course Arcs, Anchors, And Action, Elizabeth L. Angeli, Lillian Campbell
Designing "Writing For Health And Medicine": Course Arcs, Anchors, And Action, Elizabeth L. Angeli, Lillian Campbell
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article details how we developed a hybrid rhetoric of health and medicine and technical communication writing course in response to a call for a health sciences writing course. We anticipate that other institutions may be experiencing similar demand for these courses and thus introduce our process and course design as models for meeting this growing curricular need.
Pedagogies Of Rhetorical Empathy-In-Action: Role Playing And Story Sharing In Healthcare Provider Education, Lillian Campbell, Elisabeth L. Miller
Pedagogies Of Rhetorical Empathy-In-Action: Role Playing And Story Sharing In Healthcare Provider Education, Lillian Campbell, Elisabeth L. Miller
English Faculty Research and Publications
Since successful healthcare relies heavily on a practitioner’s ability to empathize with the patient, the allied health professions—like nursing and speech therapy—have long considered the possibilities and limitations of a pedagogical practice that centers empathy. In this essay, we analyze two such pedagogies: role playing with simulated patients in nursing and story sharing in a multimodal memoir group with aphasic clients in communicative sciences and disorders (CSD). Comparing theories of empathy in these fields as well as interviews with the future nurses and speech therapists participating in these experiences, we show how students engage in what we call “empathy-in-action” through …
Possibility Thinking In The Community-Engaged Classroom: Uniting Hope And Imagination Towards Anti-Racist Action, Betsy Bowen, Lillian Campbell, Jenna Green, Emily A. Phillips
Possibility Thinking In The Community-Engaged Classroom: Uniting Hope And Imagination Towards Anti-Racist Action, Betsy Bowen, Lillian Campbell, Jenna Green, Emily A. Phillips
English Faculty Research and Publications
Drawing on the work of Patrick Saint-Jean, S.J., this article examines the contribution that “possibility thinking” makes to community-engaged learning at three Jesuit universities. The article considers ways in which possibility thinking intersects both Jesuit and secular perspectives on hope and imagination, and their relationship to anti-racist praxis. We then describe three institutional contexts at different stages of enacting community-engaged learning in introductory and upper-level English classes. The article concludes by offering three praxis-oriented directions for community-engaged learning educators to take up in their own institutional contexts: developing faculty capacity and awareness; fostering solidarity not charity; and encouraging reflection not …

"A Kind Of Insanity In My Spirits": Frankenstein, Childhood, And Criminal Intent, Melissa J. Ganz
"A Kind Of Insanity In My Spirits": Frankenstein, Childhood, And Criminal Intent, Melissa J. Ganz
English Faculty Research and Publications
Criminal responsibility in England underwent an important shift between the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. Before this period, jurists focused less on whether a person meant to commit an act and more on whether the individual committed it. English law thus made little distinction between children and adults. In the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, however, criminal responsibility became linked to new ideas about human understanding. Jurists such as Matthew Hale and William Blackstone maintained that individuals could not be guilty of crimes unless they fully understood and intended the consequences of their actions. In this essay, I argue …

Love Conquers Death: Mythological Subversion And Emotional Triumph In “The Tale Of Beren And Luthien”, Sam Baughn
Love Conquers Death: Mythological Subversion And Emotional Triumph In “The Tale Of Beren And Luthien”, Sam Baughn
4610 English: Individual Authors: J.R.R. Tolkien
Though The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings sit at the forefront of J.R.R. Tokien’s expansive legendarium, there is one work that sits at the center of his expansive world. Published as chapter 19 of The Silmarillion, Of Beren and Luthien, also referred to as The Tale of Beren and Luthien is the beating heart of Tolkien’s mythology. It is perhaps his most important work, consistently developed over the course of his life. It is a true mythological epic, a story of good and evil, monsters and heroes, great treasure and constant peril. More than anything it is …
The Impacts Of Dune And The Lord Of The Rings On American Culture, Nick Collins
The Impacts Of Dune And The Lord Of The Rings On American Culture, Nick Collins
4610 English: Individual Authors: J.R.R. Tolkien
The middle third of the 20th century was a time of hyper-aggressive industry, invention, and progressivism. This portion of the 1900s was instrumental toward shaping modern popular culture. Two of the predominant works were J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings and Frank Herbert’s political science fiction novel Dune. Both works inspired massive cult followings upon their release and grew in popularity largely due to the anti-war movement of the 1960s and ‘70s. They have each inspired countless works of inspiration that include some of the most popular movies and games from the 1970’s through the modern …
Environmentalism In J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings, Sophie Butler
Environmentalism In J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings, Sophie Butler
4610 English: Individual Authors: J.R.R. Tolkien
The theme of environmentalism within Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, while sometimes underlying, is an ever-present background to the characters and actions of Middle-Earth.The hero’s movements through nature contrasted with the criminal destruction of nature by the villains presents two clear perspectives about the treatment of nature, but Tolkien also inserts his perspective through the inclusion of Tree characters, like Ents. Trees and tree characters are an essential part of Tolkien's legendarium that help to illuminate the author's claims about environmentalism and the impacts of progress on the world. How characters interact with nature inform their ethics and point …
The Tragedy Of Krudhog The Cruel: A Horrid Tale Best Never Told At All, Eric Ramos
The Tragedy Of Krudhog The Cruel: A Horrid Tale Best Never Told At All, Eric Ramos
4610 English: Individual Authors: J.R.R. Tolkien
What have I to tell you, unlucky one, of this vision brought before me? Hear it here that I, Othur Lokbrok, do not speak with a voice of my own, but rather echo the Sisters Weird, come to me one night in a passion and fury beyond all earthly resemblance. Thereupon that cursed night was I, awake and trembling, for out of a dream my spirit raised itself vigilant, as hushed voices seemed to seep and slither eerily through my window. Then in the dark at the foot of my bed a dampened candle glowed red hot as three faces, …
Spenser And Logic: Gigantomachia And Contentlessness In The Faerie Queene, John E. Curran Jr.
Spenser And Logic: Gigantomachia And Contentlessness In The Faerie Queene, John E. Curran Jr.
English Faculty Research and Publications
Figuring the enforcement of authority against rebellion, the war between the Olympians and the earth-spawned Giants is typically read as a marker of ideology. In The Faerie Queene, Spenser’s abundant allusions to the Gigantomachia can seem straightforwardly ideological, aligning Olympian rule with his virtue-knights, avatars of Elizabethan hegemony, and his giants with subversion. This essay explores another significance for the Gigantomachia, reviewing a different tradition of meaning for the myth-pattern and locating it in the poem—a tradition wherein, rather than liberation in the political realm, the Giants portend the radical oversimplification and even the nullification of thought within the …
Corporate Persons, Collective Responsibility, And The Literary Imagination, Melissa J. Ganz
Corporate Persons, Collective Responsibility, And The Literary Imagination, Melissa J. Ganz
English Faculty Research and Publications
This essay examines the contributions of Lisa Siraganian's Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons (2021) to our understanding of the historical development and philosophical underpinning of United States corporate law as well as to broader studies of law and literature. The first part of the essay considers Siraganian's analysis of problems related to corporate agency, intention, and responsibility. The second part considers the book's implications for other types of collective social entities. In particular, the essay reads Ida Fink's The Table (1970) and Charles Reznikoff's Holocaust (1975) through the lens of Siraganian's study, examining their treatment of the challenges …

Health Humanities And British Romanticism, Brittany Pladek
Health Humanities And British Romanticism, Brittany Pladek
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article gives an overview of health humanities (HH) scholarship within British Romanticism as a literary historical field. Romantic literary studies has a peculiar relationship to HH work—one that justifies examining it separately from its adjacent fields, 18th-century and Victorian studies. The article surveys HH work from the past 20 years of Romantic scholarship, drawing some conclusions about how the field's history has informed its current shape, before offering some tentative predictions about the future.

Science Fiction And Utopia In The Anthropocene, Gerry Canavan
Science Fiction And Utopia In The Anthropocene, Gerry Canavan
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article takes up science-fictional visions of the future against the “deep time” of the Anthropocene in order to explore the possibilities for utopia that remain in an era that only seems capable of producing necrofuturological dread. The piece surveys a wide range of contemporary literature and film; the key prose authors discussed are Octavia E. Butler, Margaret Atwood, Ernest Callenbach, and Kim Stanley Robinson. These texts are used to identify patterns of thought that have become habitual in the cultural moment of the Anthropocene, and they are explored as critiques of, alternatives to, and lines of flight away from …

Behind Every Man(Uscript) Is A Woman: Social Networks, Christine De Pizan, And Westminster Abbey Library, Ms 21, Elizaveta Strakhov, Sarah Wilma Watson
English Faculty Research and Publications
London, Westminster Abbey Library, MS 21, a French lyric anthology dating to the mid-fifteenth century, bears the names of two male figures. Thomas Scales (c. 1399–1460), an English war commander, had his name and personal motto elaborately incorporated into the explicit of Christine de Pizan’s Epistre au dieu d’amours. Decades later, a Tudor reader added the name “Wyllam courtnay” to the manuscript’s margins. These two male names, physically visible on the surface of the manuscript, represent stable points of provenance data that provide important information about the use, meaning, and circulation of this medieval miscellany and the texts it …
Multimodal Analysis And The Composition Taship: Exploring Embodied Teaching In The Writing Classroom, Lillian Campbell, Jaclyn Fiscus-Cannaday
Multimodal Analysis And The Composition Taship: Exploring Embodied Teaching In The Writing Classroom, Lillian Campbell, Jaclyn Fiscus-Cannaday
English Faculty Research and Publications
Lillian Campbell and Jaclyn Fiscus-Cannaday gathered this research at the University of Washington (UW)—a large public institution in which most undergraduate students identify as STEM—while they were both graduate students in rhetoric and composition at UW. There are two writing programs at UW housed in the English department: the expository writing program (EWP), which is the larger of the two and adopts a writing-across-the-curriculum approach, and the interdisciplinary writing program (IWP), which adopts a writing-in-the-disciplines approach. This research draws on the experiences of first-and second-year TAs tasked with being instructors of record for one of the strains of the EWP …

Rhetorical Body Work: Professional Embodiment In Health Provider Education And The Technical Writing Classroom, Lillian Campbell
Rhetorical Body Work: Professional Embodiment In Health Provider Education And The Technical Writing Classroom, Lillian Campbell
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article introduces “rhetorical body work” as a framework for understanding professional embodiment in health provider education and technical and professional communication (TPC) pedagogy. Using the case study of clinical nursing simulations and drawing on sociological theory, I provide a detailed analysis of three components of rhetorical body work as they manifest in three simulation scenarios: physical, emotional, and discursive. I conclude by considering the implications of these findings for the embodied teaching of TPC.
