Goals/Outcomes:
1) An understanding and appreciation of the complex and multivalent nature of disability in American life, especially as it appears in language, culture and space, among other areas of life.
2) Improved understanding and practice of the process of composing (ie. pre-writing, revision, work-shopping, remediation, etc.),
3) Improved utilization of the mechanical operations necessary for effective composition in various modes (eg. for basic alphanumeric text: syntax, grammar, punctuation, spelling, citation, etc.).
4) Increased awareness of the stakes and intentions involved in our act of composition, and the way that the success of the compositions we produce are ultimately determined by the context of their reception and the conventions of those contexts (ie. genre, medium, audience).
5) Comprehension of the necessary steps and one’s innate ability to make active interventions in/contributions to important ongoing scholarly and public conversations.
6) Recognition of the impact of cooperative/collective effort on such interventions/contributions and the corresponding effect of integrating of multiple perspectives, experiences and types of expertise on a subject.
