Sin and Syntax: Grammar, Identity, and the Writer

Catalog description

This course provides an in-depth analysis of how grammar works by contextualizing grammar usage in a variety of contexts. We examine not only standard usage, but also language use in daily life, including the impact of emerging technologies on usage. Students will be encouraged to write academically as well as personally in order to cultivate a space where we can see grammar at work and how it helps us achieve the goals of our work—whether those goals be creative, academic, or otherwise.
