Health Humanities And British Romanticism, Brittany Pladek Sep 2021

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.

Re-Reading The “Culture Clash”: Alternative Ways Of Reading In Indian Horse, Hailey Whetten Jul 2021

Re-Reading The “Culture Clash”: Alternative Ways Of Reading In Indian Horse, Hailey Whetten

Master's Theses (2009 -)

This study focuses in, particularly, on the study of the “culture clash reading” approach to Indigenous literature and examines the conditioned nature of this approach, its limitations, and its potential for harm to Indigenous agendas. Student engagement with Richard Wagamese’s Indian Horse was observed in two undergraduate courses to study conditioned student literary analysis patterns and engage proposed alternative reading strategies inspired by NAIS methodology. Student interactions with and responses to Indian Horse are closely examined in alignment with Indigenous agendas. The study ultimately finds the “culture clash reading” approach to be problematic in its positional superiority of Western knowledge …

Science Fiction And Utopia In The Anthropocene, Gerry Canavan Jun 2021

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 …

Multimodal Analysis And The Composition Taship: Exploring Embodied Teaching In The Writing Classroom, Lillian Campbell, Jaclyn Fiscus-Cannaday Jan 2021

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 …

Behind Every Man(Uscript) Is A Woman: Social Networks, Christine De Pizan, And Westminster Abbey Library, Ms 21, Elizaveta Strakhov, Sarah Wilma Watson Jan 2021

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 …

Rhetorical Body Work: Professional Embodiment In Health Provider Education And The Technical Writing Classroom, Lillian Campbell Jan 2021

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.
