Abstract
In this interdisciplinary course, we will explore the myriad ways that students learn to write
and how they write to learn. The readings and guest lecturers will offer theoretical frames from the fields of
composition and rhetoric, literacy studies, cognitive psychology, philosophy, gender studies, and education. As
we consider this range of approaches to writing, learning, and teaching, we will focus especially on collaborative methods, as collaborative learning occupies an important place in Rhodes writing courses as well as in the Writing Center. With this emphasis in mind, students in the course will move beyond our own classroom and into a Memphis public high school to collaborate in the establishment of a peerled
writing center. Because this course offers focused attention to writing, along with analytical writing assignments, as well as a service learning experience, it fulfills two Foundation Requirements: F2i (writing intensive) and F11 (integrative community).
