Writing Up: How Assertions Of Epistemic Rights Counter Epistemic Injustice, Beth Godbee
Writing Up: How Assertions Of Epistemic Rights Counter Epistemic Injustice, Beth Godbee
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article sheds light on moments when educators affirm and when writers assert their epistemic rights— the rights to knowledge, experience, and earned expertise. Affirmations and assertions of epistemic rights can work to counter epistemic injustice, or harm done to people in their capacities as knowers. Though an understanding of rhetoric as "epistemic" or "epistemological" is not new (e.g., Berlin; Dowst; Scott; Villanueva), I argue that we need to bring attention to the related terms and conceptual frameworks of epistemic rights and epistemic injustice. Together, these terms help to explain the wrongs (micro-inequities leading to macro-injustices) that manifest when writers …

Name It And Claim It: Cross-Campus Collaborations For Community-Based Learning, Beth Godbee, Elizabeth Andrejasich Gibes
Name It And Claim It: Cross-Campus Collaborations For Community-Based Learning, Beth Godbee, Elizabeth Andrejasich Gibes
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article describes the value of cross-campus collaborations for community-based learning. We argue that community-based learning both provides unique opportunities for breaking academic silos and invites campus partnerships to make ambitious projects possible. To illustrate, we describe a course "Writing for Social Justice" that involved created videos for our local YWCA's Racial Justice Program. We begin by discussing the shared value of collaboration across writing studies and librarianship (our disciplinary orientations). We identify four forms of cross-campus collaboration, which engaged us in working with each other, with our community partner, and with other partners across campus. From there, we visualize …
Unless Someone Like You Cares A Whole Awful Lot: Apocalypse As Children’S Entertainment, Gerry Canavan
Unless Someone Like You Cares A Whole Awful Lot: Apocalypse As Children’S Entertainment, Gerry Canavan
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article explores an unusual subset of children’s narrative, the apocalyptic environmentalist text, and argues that such texts perform the perverse ideological work of shifting blame for ecological crisis from its perpetrators (the parents’ generation) to its victims (the child who is now called upon to act). These texts transform the drama of innocence and experience that is paradigmatic of children’s narrative by destroying the child’s innocence through their very transmission, by informing them of a dire crisis they then become obliged to repair. The article’s primary examples are Captain Planet, The Lorax, WALL-E and The Butter Battle …

Simulation Genres And Student Uptake: The Patient Health Record In Clinical Nursing Simulations, Lillian Campbell
Simulation Genres And Student Uptake: The Patient Health Record In Clinical Nursing Simulations, Lillian Campbell
English Faculty Research and Publications
Drawing on fieldwork, this article examines nursing students’ design and use of a patient health record during clinical simulations, where small teams of students provide nursing care for a robotic patient. The student-designed patient health record provides a compelling example of how simulation genres can both authentically coordinate action within a classroom simulation and support professional genre uptake. First, the range of rhetorical choices available to students in designing their simulation health records are discussed. Then, the article draws on an extended example of how student uptake of the patient health record within a clinical simulation emphasized its intertextual relationship …
The Rhetoric Of Health And Medicine As A “Teaching Subject”: Lessons From The Medical Humanities And Simulation Pedagogy, Lillian Campbell
The Rhetoric Of Health And Medicine As A “Teaching Subject”: Lessons From The Medical Humanities And Simulation Pedagogy, Lillian Campbell
English Faculty Research and Publications
The rhetoric of health and medicine has only begun to intervene in health pedagogy. In contrast, the medical humanities has spearheaded curriculum to address dehumanizing trends in medicine. This article argues that rhetorical scholars can align with medical humanities’ initiatives and uniquely contribute to health curriculum. Drawing on the author’s research on clinical simulation, the article discusses rhetorical methodologies, genre theory, and critical lenses as areas for pedagogical collaboration between rhetoricians and health practitioners.

Hokey Religions: Star Wars And Star Trek In The Age Of Reboots, Gerry Canavan
Hokey Religions: Star Wars And Star Trek In The Age Of Reboots, Gerry Canavan
English Faculty Research and Publications
Disney’s recent “decanonization” of the decades-old Star Wars “Expanded Universe” in preparation for the release of The Force Awakens once again raises the question of the triangular relationship between the corporate ownership of intellectual property, the mainstream audience to whom the blockbuster films are addressed, and the much smaller hardcore fanbase whose loyalty sustains a franchise during its lean years. Considering fandom investment in the processes of world-building and continuity construction across the landscape of SF media forms, this article will focus specifically on two key franchises in mainstream SF, each in its own way paradigmatic of the “merely” science …

Why Inquiry Matters: An Argument And Model For Inquiry-Based Writing Courses, Beth Godbee
Why Inquiry Matters: An Argument And Model For Inquiry-Based Writing Courses, Beth Godbee
English Faculty Research and Publications
This article considers the value and implications of inquiry-driven learning for secondary and postsecondary education. In response to ongoing interest in and the need to foster inquiry in English education, we share the course model of “Ethnography of the University.” This writing-intensive course asks students to become authors of their own educations; to identify problems facing the campus community; to conduct semester-long, original research projects; and to make proposals for change. Through conducting inquiry projects, students come to see themselves as writers with real audiences, to personalize an often-impersonal education, and to connect academic with everyday concerns. Two undergraduate researchers …
Making Commitments To Racial Justice Actionable (Book Chapter), Rasha Diab, Thomas Ferrel, Beth Godbee, Neil Simpkins
Making Commitments To Racial Justice Actionable (Book Chapter), Rasha Diab, Thomas Ferrel, Beth Godbee, Neil Simpkins
English Faculty Research and Publications
In this article, we articulate a framework for making our commitments to racial justice actionable, a framework that moves from narrating confessional accounts to articulating our commitments and then acting on them through both self-work and work-with-others, a dialectic possibility we identify and explore. We model a method for moving beyond originary confessional narratives and engage in dialogue with “the willingness to be disturbed” (Wheatley, 2002), believing that disturbances are productive places from which we can more clearly articulate and act from our commitments. Drawing on our own experiences, we engage the political, systemic, and enduring nature of racism as …

"A Dread Mystery, Compelling Adoration": Olaf Stapledon, Star Maker, And Totality, Gerry Canavan
"A Dread Mystery, Compelling Adoration": Olaf Stapledon, Star Maker, And Totality, Gerry Canavan
English Faculty Research and Publications
Using research undertaken at the Olaf Stapledon archive at the University of Liverpool, this article explores the tension between cosmopolitan optimism and cosmic pessimism that structures Stapledon's 1937 novel Star Maker, and asks whether the novel succeeds in solving the philosophical problems that first spurred Stapledon to write it. I conclude, unhappily, that it does not: while an impressive achievement, and despite a surface optimism, the book's confrontation with infinity, totality, and the sublime is ultimately depressive rather than generative of a felicitous cosmological order, requiring Stapledon to try again and again to somehow solve this philosophical conundrum in …
