Part of CRLTs Equity-Focused Teaching @ Michigan Series
Journal-keeping describes a wide range of personal writing, archiving, and expressive practices in which no one reads or has access to what is written except the keeper or writer. Combining rhetorical theory with practical experimentation and reflection, this workshop introduces participants to journal-keeping as a pedagogical practice that both students and instructors can use to deepen our critical engagement with complex questions of power and equity. In particular, we’ll explore how journal-keeping both enables and requires a high degree of flexibility in instructional expectations.
