English 369: Research Methods in Language and Rhetoric
Research Methodologies for Studying Place, Worldmaking, and Everyday Life
This course engages various qualitative research methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches to studying place and worldmaking (interview, fieldwork, visual/rhetorical/cultural analysis, autoethnography, mapping, etc.) that draw on anticolonial, indigenous, feminist, and critical spatial perspectives. While anchored within cultural and public rhetorics, this course will be designed to support students’ projects and experiments with methods in language, rhetoric, writing, culture, and literatures. This course will be offered with English 563, a graduate course in research methods.
